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.
