Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 169 vehicles, including the 2023 EQB 250 and 2022-2023 EQB 300 4MATIC and EQB 350 4MATIC models. The high voltage battery in these electric vehicles can fail internally, which may result in a vehicle fire while driving or while the vehicle is parked. Owners who had their vehicles previously repaired under recall 25V050 must have this new software update performed, as the previous repair was insufficient.

Risk

The internal failure of the high voltage battery creates a significant fire risk that can occur whether the vehicle is being driven or is stationary. Because of this risk, owners are advised to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until the repair is completed to prevent potential property damage and injury.
