2021 Mercedes-Benz S 580, Mercedes-maybach S 580: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 23V200000 · 6 units potentially affected · filed Mar 24, 2023
What's wrong
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2021 Maybach S580 and S580 vehicles. The bulkhead that separates the engine compartment from the passenger compartment may not have been properly sealed, causing water to drain into the passenger compartment. Water intrusion into the foot wells may cause corrosion and/or short circuits to electrical components, disabling safety features, including seat belt tightening and seat adjustments (PreSafe system).
Why it matters
Disabled safety features, including seat belt tightening and seat adjustments, can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will repair the bulkhead front wall sealing, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 12, 2023. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2023040009.
