Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling approximately 12,191 vehicles, including certain 2021-2023 CLS450, E450, and AMG GT models, because a 48-volt ground cable in the engine compartment may not have been tightened properly. This loose connection can cause the cable to overheat during vehicle operation, which significantly increases the risk of a fire starting under the hood. Owners should contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer to have the connection inspected and secured properly at no cost.
A loose ground cable connection creates electrical resistance that can lead to extreme heat buildup. If the cable overheats, it can ignite surrounding components in the engine compartment, posing a fire hazard even while the vehicle is being driven.
Free inspection and repair of the 48-volt ground cable connection.
