ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2023-2024 C300, AMG C43, S580e, S580, Maybach S580, Maybach S680, AMG SL43, AMGSL63, GLC300, EQE350, EQE500, EQS450, EQS580, AMG EQS, 2023 S500, AMG SL55, AMG EQE, 2024 E350, E450, AMG C63e S, CLE300 Coupe, CLE450 Coupe, and GLC300 Coupe vehicles. The 80-Amp fuses may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause the fuses to fail.
- What it can cause
- An 80-Amp fuse that fails can result in a sudden loss of drive power or a loss of critical safety functions such as the restraint systems or instrument cluster, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Additionally, there could be an increased risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the main fuse boxes, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 5, 2024. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2024030008.
- 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 31,848 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 87% of the 17,512 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 476. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, 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 electrical system 59 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V100000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 14 of the 36 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 205 complaints with NHTSA, 57 of them before this campaign was filed. 70 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 37 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 February 16, 2024 as campaign 24V115000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
