- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2023 E450, E350, AMG E63 S, AMG E53, CLS450, AMG GT53, and AMG GT43 vehicles. Due to a software error, the exit warning system audio and visual warnings may fail to alert occupants about approaching vehicles.
- What it can cause
- Failure to alert occupants of an approaching vehicle can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the exit warning system software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 8, 2023. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2023080005.

- 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 880 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% 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, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 54 times before this, most recently in June 2023 as 23V463000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 23 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 24V445000 (electrical system), 24V100000 (electrical system), 23V880000 (fuel system, gasoline), 23V445000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 August 11, 2023 as campaign 23V574000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
