4 recalls across 3 model years
The Mercedes-Benz E250 has 4 recalls covering 2014-2016 model years, with the most serious being an inadvertent driver airbag deployment on 2014-2016 vehicles that can fire without a crash, raising the risk of injury to the driver and potentially causing a collision.
The 2015 model year carries two additional recalls. A diesel engine oil leak on certain 2015 E250 BlueTec and E250 BlueTec 4Matic vehicles can drip onto hot engine surfaces and start a fire, and the leaking oil can also create a slick on the road for other drivers. Separately within the 2015 model year, the center rear seatbelt buckle assembly can fail under load in a severe frontal crash, leaving the middle rear occupant without effective restraint. Across the full 2014-2016 range, a software fault in the emergency call system can cause the vehicle to report an incorrect date, time, and location when a crash triggers an automatic emergency call, which can delay first responders reaching the scene.
