The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4MATIC has 3 recalls, the most serious being a steering coupling bolt that may not be properly tightened, allowing the connection between the steering wheel and rack to work loose and causing the driver to lose steering control.
The electric drivetrain carries its own concern: a software issue in the battery management system can cause a sudden, unexpected loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion, leaving the driver without acceleration at a critical moment. The third recall involves the pedestrian alert system, which is required to emit a sound at low speeds so people nearby know the vehicle is moving. A software error can cause the system to play an incorrect tone while reversing, which may not register as a vehicle warning to someone in the car's path.
