- More than 300 units affected
- Possible defect with ECU software
Mercedes-Benz India has officially recalled the Maybach S-Class (W223-gen) due to a possible issue with the car’s ECU software. According to the details, a total of 386 units across the country are a part of the recall.
The recall pertains to units of the Maybach S-Class manufactured between 29 April, 2021 and 27 January, 2024. The issue revolves around the software of the ECU which might not meet the current specifications. In such a case, an increase in exhaust temperatures and damage to surrounding components such as the engine wiring harness, and catalytic converter might occur. Therefore, a loss of propulsion without prior warning and an increased risk of fire cannot be ruled out.
While Mercedes-Benz has not released a statement, we expect the fix to be undertaken at no cost to the customer. Additionally, authorised dealers should be reaching out to the customers of the affected vehicle to schedule an appointment for the fix.
