Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 73 of its 2022-2023 Maybach S580 and Maybach S680 luxury vehicles due to a manufacturing defect where the 12-volt ground connection in the trunk was not secured properly. This loose connection can cause the electronic stability program (ESP) to malfunction or lead to the electrical connection overheating. Owners should have their vehicles inspected by an authorized dealer to ensure the connection is correctly tightened.

Risk

A loose electrical ground can cause the electronic stability control to fail, making it harder to control the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the poor connection can generate excessive heat, which poses a significant fire hazard.
