Mercedes-Benz India has announced a voluntary recall of 30 vehicles spanning the GLC, AMG SL 55, EQS, and S-Class models due to a potential fire hazard. This marks the sixth recall from the manufacturer in 2025.
The issue stems from incorrectly reworked fuse boxes, as cited in a notification by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). This defect could result in critical malfunctions — including unexpected loss of propulsion, compromised restraint systems, or non-functional instrument clusters — all of which pose a heightened risk of a crash and injury.
Here's a breakdown:
Model | Units Affected | Manufacturing Period | |
GLC | 3 | 9 September, 2023 to 4 December, 2023 | |
EQS | 16 | 19 July, 2023 to 8 April, 2024 | |
AMG SL 55 | 2 | 5 July, 2023 to 28 August, 2023 | |
S-Class | 9 | 22 June, 2023 to 20 March, 2024 |
