Due to improper installation, the 12V starter/generator wiring harness could come into contact with the drive shaft, causing abrasion over time. As a result, a short circuit may occur leading to an unexpected sudden loss of propulsion, increasing the risk of an accident.
Moreover, strong electrical currents that may flow through the connection could cause an increase in temperature in the affected area, increasing the risk of fire.
The Mercedes-Benz SL vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 4 June 2021 and 29 August 2023.

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 Mercedes-Benz 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.
