Attention drivers of 2022 and 2023 Mercedes-Benz C 300 sedans! Important safety information has been issued by Mercedes-Benz regarding a potential issue that could affect your vehicle.
The concern is related to a loose bolt on a critical electrical connection. This defect could lead to two main problems.
First, it raises the risk of a fire in the car due to excessive current flowing through the faulty connection.
Second, the loose bolt may cause a complete loss of power while driving, which can significantly impact your ability to control the vehicle and could result in an accident.
Authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers are equipped to fix the problem entirely free of charge. Let’s get you the details: while newer models are unaffected thanks to a production line fix implemented in August 2022, owners of certain 2023 C-Class sedans will receive notification letters by mail by August 13th, 2024.
You can also check your VIN on the Mercedes-Benz USA recall portal to see if your car is included in the recall.
It’s important to note that, unlike other global markets that offer the C-Class in both wagon and sedan styles, North America only receives the four-door variant.
Powering all US-bound C-Class models are 4-cylinder turbocharged engines, a shift from the V6 and V8 options available in previous generations.
