Mercedes-Benz has issued a voluntary recall for select models of its cars in India due to a potential issue with the fuse boxes. The affected models include the S-Class, Maybach S-Class, AMG SL, GLC-Class, and EQS. The problem lies in the fact that the fuse boxes may not have been reworked correctly, which could lead to a range of issues, including sudden loss of propulsion, failure of electronic systems, and even a risk of fire.
A total of 30 cars are covered under this recall, with the majority being units of the EQS electric car. The recalled cars were manufactured between July 2023 and April 2024. Mercedes-Benz will be contacting the owners of the affected cars individually and providing a fix free of cost.
This is not the first recall issued by Mercedes-Benz in 2025. Earlier in the year, the company had issued recalls for select units of the AMG S 63 E Performance, AMG GT 63S 4M+ E Performance, AMG E-Class 53 4M Plus, and CLE, among others. The issues ranged from problems with the high-voltage starter generator to faulty warning systems and software issues.
The recall is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of customers and to maintain the company’s commitment to product integrity and customer trust. Mercedes-Benz has stated that no actual incidents related to the fuse box issue have been reported, but it is still imperative that owners of the affected cars get the issue fixed as soon as possible.
The recall affects the following models: 16 units of the EQS electric, 9 units of the S-Class and Maybach S-Class, 3 units of the GLC-Class, and 2 units of the AMG SL. Mercedes-Benz will be providing a free fix for the affected cars, and owners can expect to be contacted by the company in the coming days. The recall is a testament to Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to safety and customer satisfaction, and it is expected that the issue will be resolved quickly and efficiently.
