The 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS has two recalls, the more serious being a software error in the electric drivetrain that can cut drive power without warning, raising the risk of a crash.
The second recall affects vehicles equipped with a heated leather steering wheel: a software fault disables the hands-off detection system, which means the driver assistance features that warn you to return your hands to the wheel and can call emergency services during an emergency stop may not function when needed.
