5 recalls across 5 model years
The Mercedes-Benz B 250E has 5 recalls covering 2014 through 2017, with the most serious being a steering shaft universal joint defect on 2017 models where the bearing can separate over time, leaving the driver with no steering control.
The 2017 model year also has a recall for the driver airbag, which can deploy without warning while driving, raising the risk of injury and loss of vehicle control. That airbag concern extends back through the 2014-2016 model years as well.
On 2014-2015 models, a communication error within the electric drive system can cause the powertrain to shut down without warning, cutting propulsion and stalling the vehicle in traffic.
Two recalls address the emergency call system. On 2014-2016 vehicles, a software fault can cause the system to report an incorrect date and time, which can result in an inaccurate location being transmitted to emergency responders after a crash. The 2017 model year has a related issue where the emergency call system can fail to dispatch responders to the correct location entirely.
