Mercedes-Benz is recalling approximately 7,558 luxury vehicles, including the 2022 EQS 450, EQS 580, and the 2023 Maybach S 580, Maybach S 680, and S 580e. A software error in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) can malfunction, causing critical safety systems like anti-lock brakes and stability control to stop working. This defect also causes the vehicle's speed display to fail while driving. Authorized dealers will perform a free software update to correct the issue.
If the ESP software malfunctions, the vehicle may lose anti-lock braking (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESP), significantly reducing the driver's ability to control the car in an emergency. Additionally, a failed speedometer prevents the driver from knowing their current speed, both of which increase the risk of a crash.
