TIRES
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2018 E 400 Cabriolet, E 400 Coupe, 2019 E 450 Cabriolet, and E 450 Coupe vehicles. The tires were incorrectly marked with the wrong maximum inflation pressure and may not meet the strength requirements for the stated pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
- What it can cause
- Tires inflated to an incorrect maximum pressure may have insufficient strength, allowing the tires to fail and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the tires as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 7, 2025. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2025010008.
- 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 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 165 vehicles this is a small campaign: 63% 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 model years 2018 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the tires 8 times before this, most recently in October 2024 as 24V780000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 38 complaints with NHTSA, 27 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the tires, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2018, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V365000 (electrical system), 22V232000 (back over prevention), 21V072000 (communication), 21V058000 (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 January 17, 2025 as campaign 25V023000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
