What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2017-2021 model year vehicles including the C300, E300, CLA250, GLC300, GLE450, S550, and other models because the eCall system, which allows vehicle occupants to contact emergency services through a call center during an emergency, may have been inadvertently deactivated during a service visit. A disabled eCall system could prevent occupants from reaching emergency services, potentially delaying emergency responders and increasing the risk of injury.

MBUSA will notify owners of affected vehicles and dealers will inspect the communication module and activate it if necessary at no charge. The recall process began on March 31, 2021. Owners can contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372, and the company's recall number is 2021030005.
