- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2022 EQS580 vehicles. The multi-purpose camera and the rearview mirror may be insufficiently attached to the windshield and may detach, impairing front passenger air bag deployment and various assistance systems, including Adaptive Cruise Control (DISTRONIC) with active steering assist, Brake Assists with pedestrian detection, Lane Keeping Assists, Traffic Sign Assist, Augmented Reality function and Rain and Light Sensors.
- What it can cause
- Impaired deployment of an air bag can increase the risk of injury. Impaired driver assistance safety systems can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the windshield and reinstall the multi-purpose camera and rearview mirror as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 31, 2023. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2023030002.
- 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 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% 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, 2022, 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 visibility 11 times before this, most recently in December 2022 as 22V954000. 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 6 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V464000 (seat belts), 23V405000 (electrical system), 23V360000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 23V309000 (electrical system).
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 February 10, 2023 as campaign 23V074000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
