2024 Mercedes-Benz E 450 Recalls & Complaints

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E 450 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving electrical wiring problems that can cut drive power without warning or start a fire under the hood.

Two of the recalls trace to wiring harness issues: the transmission wiring harness runs too close to the driveshaft and can be damaged, cutting power to the wheels, while loose 12-volt and 48-volt ground connections in the wiring harness can overheat and create a fire risk. A third electrical recall involves 80-amp fuses that can fail unexpectedly, resulting in a sudden loss of drive power or failure of critical systems including the airbags and instrument cluster. On the software side, a bug in the infotainment system can disable certain vehicle functions, including the cross-traffic alert that automatically applies the brakes in certain situations, leaving that protection unavailable without the driver knowing.
