The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB Class has 6 recalls, the most serious involving the high-voltage battery, which can overheat and short circuit, creating a fire risk even while the vehicle is parked and switched off.
The battery fire risk has been the subject of multiple repair attempts, and prior dealer repairs did not fully resolve the issue, so vehicles that were previously serviced under earlier campaigns still require an additional repair. A separate but related battery concern involves a connector that may not have been properly tightened, which can cause a sudden loss of drive power while the vehicle is moving. On the occupant safety side, the B-pillar trim panel can crack when a side curtain airbag deploys in a crash, which can prevent the airbag from inflating correctly and send plastic fragments toward people inside the cabin. There is also a powertrain concern where a parked vehicle can roll away on its own, raising the risk of a collision or injury to anyone nearby.
