2023 Mercedes-Benz Eqs 580 4matic Recalls & Complaints

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC has 3 recalls, the most serious involving two separate issues that can cause a sudden loss of drive power or knock out critical systems like the airbags and instrument cluster while driving.

The first is a battery management software fault that can cut drive power without warning. The second affects vehicles that received a prior repair: if an incorrect fuse box was installed during that earlier service, it can cause the same loss of drive power or disable safety systems including the restraint system and dashboard display. The third recall involves the pedestrian alert system, where a software error causes the vehicle to emit the wrong sound when reversing, which may not effectively warn people on foot that the car is moving toward them.
