The 48V ground cable bolt in the engine compartment may be incorrectly secured. This could increase electrical transition resistance at the point of connection. As a result, the high electrical currents that can flow through this connection could increase the temperature, increasing the risk of fire. Furthermore, the 48V electrical power supply failure may increase exhaust emissions. This could have a negative impact on the environment.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 1 July 2021 and 6 April 2023.
