Mercedes-Benz S-Class: The exhaust system may be damaged

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 53,180 S-Class vehicles manufactured between 2020 and 2023 to authorized workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is faulty lambda control software that could lead to an increase in lambda control in the event of an independent hardware fault. This could result in damage to exhaust system components, engine failure and, in the worst case, a fire.

In an authorized workshop, the engine control unit software will be updated.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14311R“. The internal manufacturer code is “5496234“.

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.
