Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling approximately 1,899 model year 2024-2025 AMG EQE SUV 4MATIC vehicles due to a software error in the external pedestrian warning system. This error prevents the warning sound from increasing in volume as the vehicle accelerates, which fails to meet federal safety standards for hybrid and electric vehicles. No injuries or incidents have been reported, and dealers will provide a free software update to correct the system.
If the pedestrian warning sound does not increase in volume as the vehicle speeds up, pedestrians may not be alerted to an approaching vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) software update.
Affected vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, 'Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid Electric Vehicles.'
