Mercedes recalls a quarter of a million cars due to fire risk

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 247,443 AMG GT, C-Class, CLE, E-Class, EQE, EQS, GLC, S-Class and SL-Class vehicles manufactured in 2023 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that an interrupted contact or increased contact resistance on the 80A fuse can lead to engine failure or impairment of restraint functions and the instrument cluster. A fire hazard cannot be ruled out.

In an authorised workshop, the corresponding fuse boxes are replaced.

The KBA monitors the recall under the reference number “013606“. The internal manufacturer code is “8297011“.

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.
