ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC):CONTROL MODULE
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2021 GLB250 vehicles. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) unit may be damaged, which can result in disabled anti-lock brakes (ABS), disabled electronic stability control (ESC), and an electrical short circuit.
- What it can cause
- Disabled anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control can increase the risk of a crash or injury. An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire.

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 4 vehicles this is a small campaign: 96% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the electronic stability control (esc) 6 times before this, most recently in January 2022 as 22V042000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 29 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V481000 (latches/locks/linkages), 22V365000 (electrical system), 22V314000 (suspension), 22V232000 (back over prevention).
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 September 12, 2022 as campaign 22V679000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
