The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a prior repair that may have left an incorrect fuse box installed, which can cause sudden loss of drive power or failure of the airbags and instrument cluster.
On the occupant safety side, mounting brackets near the roof on certain vehicles have sharp edges that can tear the side-curtain airbag during deployment, reducing its ability to protect occupants in a crash. There is also a software issue with the pedestrian alert system, where the vehicle may emit an incorrect warning tone while reversing, potentially failing to alert pedestrians that the car is moving toward them.
