Mercedes-Benz AG has found that, in certain EQC (BR 293) vehicles, the wiring harness for the electric steering may have been damaged during the assembly process. This could lead to an ingress of water into the wiring harness and thus, over time, into the steering control unit. As a result, the power steering could fail spontaneously, even during driving, increasing the risk of an accident. Production: 22.2.2019 to 17.12.2020. Types: e1*2001/116*0480*31 - 42, Type: 204X.
The electrical connector of the side-impact sensors might not be correctly latched and could become detached. This would lead to delayed activation of the restraint systems in the event of a side impact, reducing their restraining effect and increasing the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants. Production: 31.7.2020 - 11.11.2020. Types: Types: 212, 221, 204 X, R1ECLS, R1EAMG, 463 A; e1*2001/116*0501*47, e1*2001/116*0335*46, e1*2001/116*0480*36-*41, e1*2007/46*1818*10-*11, e1*2007/46*1878*10-*11, e1*2001/116*0480*39, e1*2007/46*1830*06-*07.
The housing of the high voltage battery may corrode due to inadequate corrosion protection. As a result, moisture could penetrate the battery and cause an isolation failure, leading to increased risk of fire. In addition, it may be impossible to restart the vehicle once the engine has been switched off. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 22 February and 28 November 2019.. Types: e1*2001/116*0480*31-35, Type: 204 X.
The wiring harness for the steering control device may have been damaged during the production process and can allow moisture to ingress into the control unit. This may lead to the loss of electric steering support, increasing the risk of accident. Moreover, a short circuit of the damaged wiring harness can occur, leading to increased risk of fire. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 11 December 2019 and 18 May 2020.. Types: Type-approval numbers: e1*2001/116*0431*55-58, e1*2001/116*0457*46-49, e1*2001/116*0480*35-36; Types: 204, 204 K, 204 X.
The left-hand side, rear seat-back lock does not comply with the specifications. This could lead to a failure of the seat-back locking system in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of injury. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 24 January and 25 May 2020.. Types: Type-approval numbers: e1*2001/116*0457*47-*49, e1*2007/46*1560*18-*19, e1*2001/116*0480*36-*37, e1*2007/46*1878*08-*09; Types: 204 K, R1ES, 204 X, R1EAMG.

The four self-locking nuts used to attach the airbag might not have been correctly tightened. As a result, in the event of an accident in which the airbag was deployed, it could become detached from its base plate, failing to provide its restraining effect and increasing the risk of injuries. Production: 19 July 2019 to 27 September 2019. Types: Model series: GLC (BR 253), B-class (BR 247), A-class (BR 177), CLA (BR 118) and EQC (BR N293); Type-approval numbers: e1*2007/46*1912*00, e1*2007/46*1829*03-04, e1*2001/116*0480*32, 33; Types: F2CLA, F2A, 204 X.
The bolt of the front-axle differential gear may not meet the durability specification and could break. As a result, fragments of the bolt could block the differential gear and hence the front wheels. This could affect the control over the vehicle and increase the risk of an accident. In addition, the gear casing could be damaged and oil could leak onto the road, posing a risk to the following traffic. Production: 11 February 2019 to 8 October 2019. Types: Model Series (BR): 293; Type-approval number: e1*2001/116*0480*31-35; Type: 204X.
