The 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan has two recalls, the more serious being a software fault in the driver assistance system that prevents the vehicle from detecting when the driver has let go of the steering wheel, which can stop the automatic emergency stop and emergency call features from activating if the driver becomes incapacitated. This recall only affects vehicles with a heated leather steering wheel. The second recall involves the rearview camera, which can fail to appear on the central display when reversing, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle.
