How this campaign compares

At 79,676 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 91% 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 2024, 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 16 times before this, most recently in June 2023 as 23V445000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 20 of the 59 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 358 complaints with NHTSA, 127 of them before this campaign was filed. 19 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 November 2020, 3 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 62 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.
