STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450, EQS 580 and AMG EQS53 vehicles. The front or rear bumper tow ring assembly may have insufficient thread depth, which can result in the tow ring detaching from the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- A tow ring that detaches during vehicle transport or loading can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the tow ring assembly thread, as necessary, free of charge. Owners notification letters were mailed August 24, 2022. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020070019/20.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 2,526 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 68% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the structure 28 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V934000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 40 complaints with NHTSA, 2 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V366000 (back over prevention), 23V464000 (seat belts), 23V405000 (electrical system), 23V360000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC with NHTSA on July 1, 2022 as campaign 22V467000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
