The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 has two recalls, both carrying the risk of sudden loss of drive power while driving, which can raise the risk of a crash.
One recall involves 80-amp fuses that can fail unexpectedly, cutting drive power or knocking out critical systems like the airbags or instrument cluster. The other involves a software issue in the battery management system that can also cause sudden drive power loss. Both issues result in the same real-world consequence: the car can lose propulsion without warning.
