Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling approximately 22,422 vehicles including certain 2019-2025 CLS 53, E 53, GT 43, and GT 53 models because the transmission wiring harness may have been installed incorrectly. This misrouting can allow water to enter the electrical connector, leading to corrosion and a potential short circuit. Owners should be aware that even if their vehicle was repaired under a previous recall (22V-533), they must have this new repair performed to ensure the vehicle is safe. Dealers will replace the wiring harness and connector free of charge.
A short circuit in the transmission wiring harness can lead to an electrical fire, increasing the risk of injury to occupants and damage to the vehicle.
Free replacement of the two-part wiring harness and connector.
