Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 6 of its 2021 Maybach S580 and S580 vehicles because the seal between the engine and passenger compartments may be defective. This defect allows water to leak into the passenger footwells, which can cause electrical shorts or corrosion in critical safety components. If this occurs, the vehicle's PreSafe system—which includes automatic seat belt tightening and seat adjustments—may fail to operate correctly. Owners can have this issue fixed by a dealer who will repair the bulkhead sealing free of charge.
Water intrusion into the vehicle's electrical systems can disable the PreSafe safety system, preventing seat belts from tightening or seats from adjusting properly during an emergency. This failure to secure occupants correctly significantly increases the risk of injury during a crash.
