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 143,551 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 14 times before this, most recently in March 2022 as 22V134000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 24 of the 76 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 485 complaints with NHTSA, 114 of them before this campaign was filed. 30 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2020, 2 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 83 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V481000 (latches/locks/linkages), 25V533000 (steering), 25V365000 (exterior lighting), 25V379000 (structure).

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 June 26, 2023 as campaign 23V445000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
