Mercedes-Benz S-Class, GLC, SL 55, EQS recalled over fire risk

A total of 30 units manufactured between June 2023 and April 2024 are said to be affected.

Mercedes-Benz has recalled the S-Class, GLC, AMG SL 55 and EQS electric sedan over a potential fire risk.

According to the details shared on the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) website, the issue pertains to the fuse boxes. 

Mercedes says, “The systems connected to the fuse might fail, and the vehicle might lose its propulsion without prior warning, and the restraint functions or the instrument cluster might also be impaired, increasing the risk of a crash and injuries. Under such specific circumstances, a potential risk of a thermal incident in the vehicle cannot be excluded.”

A total of 30 units manufactured between June 2023 and April 2024 are said to be affected. These include 16 EQS electric sedans, 9 units of the S-Class, including the Maybach, 3 GLC SUVs and 2 AMG SL 55s.
