The 2022 Mercedes-Benz E 350 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump that can shut down without warning, cutting engine power while driving and raising the risk of a crash.
The remaining recall affects vehicles equipped with a heated leather steering wheel. The hands-off detection system built into the steering wheel can become deactivated, which disables several features of the DISTRONIC driver assistance suite. When this happens, the system cannot warn the driver to put their hands back on the wheel, and the Active Emergency Stop feature, which is designed to bring the car to a safe stop and contact emergency services if the driver becomes unresponsive, will not function.
