The 2023 Mercedes-Benz E 450 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a loose 48-volt ground cable connection in the engine compartment that can overheat and start a fire.
The fuel system accounts for two recalls that describe the same underlying problem: the fuel pump can shut down without warning, cutting drive power while the vehicle is in motion and leaving the driver unable to accelerate or maintain speed, which raises the risk of a collision. The fourth recall involves the exit warning system, which uses sensors to detect approaching vehicles when a door is being opened. A software error can cause both the audio chime and the visual alert to fail, meaning occupants stepping out could receive no warning that a cyclist or passing car is approaching from behind.
