2019 MERCEDES-BENZ E 450 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz E 450 has 6 recalls, the most serious being seatbelt pretensioners that may not activate in a crash, leaving occupants without the full protection of the restraint system. A related recall covers the pre-safe crash preparation system, which may also fail to deploy alongside the pretensioners during a collision. On the structural side, the rear spoiler on wagon models may not be properly attached and can detach while driving, creating a road hazard for other vehicles. An electrical recall affects the 48V battery system, which can fail and leave safety features like the automatic emergency call system, hazard lights, and power door locks without power during or after a crash. There is also a tire concern on cabriolet and coupe variants: the tires were marked with an incorrect maximum inflation pressure and may lack the structural strength to hold up at the pressure listed on the sidewall, which can cause a tire to fail while driving.
