Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Faulty screw connection on a fuse box

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 2,826 C-Class vehicles manufactured between 2021 and 2022 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is a faulty screw connection on a fuse box that can lead to increased temperatures and, consequently, to an increased risk of fire. At the same time, the vehicle may lose its drive.

In an authorised workshop, the screw connection of the cable set to the fuse box is checked, and any necessary repairs are carried out.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “13990R“. The internal manufacturer code is “5497603“.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.

If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
