Nuked Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 1.29 million vehicles because of a failure in its eCall software. The software may not provide a vehicle’s correct location to emergency responders after a crash, car and driver reported.
The recall covers vehicles sold from model years 2016 to 2021. It includes cla-class, gla-class, gle-class, gls-class, slc-class, A-Class, C-Class, S-Class, cls-class, B-class, glc-class, and glc-class vehicles.
The automaker said it was unaware of any instances of material damages or personal injuries that have resulted from the issue. The recall will begin April 6th.
Mercedes-Benz said a temporary collapse of the communication module’s power supply might lead to the vehicle’s position during a potential emergency call being incorrect. However, other functions of the automatic and manual emergency call function remain fully operational.
