Different Mercedes-Benz of different years of production showed different problems
A large recall campaign has been announced in China, which in total affects 359 299 Mercedes-Benz cars.
In particular, it is planned to recall 60 470 Mercedes-Benz GLE and GLS produced between July 5 and November 2, 2023. In these cars, under certain conditions, when the driver lightly presses the brake pedal and the automatic transmission switches from 7th to 6th gear, the car may stall while driving, which is completely unsafe.
Mercedes-Benz C- and E-classes, as well as Mercedes-Benz GLK, produced between December 2, 2010 and October 31, 2014, have problems with the 12-volt battery: electrolyte leaks from it. This may cause a short circuit and fire in the engine compartment. A total of 204 255 vehicles will be recalled.
The most interesting defect is found in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, S-Class, EQE, SL and GLC, both locally made in China and imported. As the company discovered, deviations in body welding in these models can lead to too high a current in the fuse circuit. Because of this, various machine systems may fail, but there is also a risk of fire. Therefore, 94 574 cars manufactured between February 6, 2023 and October 13, 2023 are being recalled.
