2021 MERCEDES-BENZ S 500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S 500 has 5 recalls, the most serious involving front brake hoses that can rupture and leak fluid, extending stopping distances, and a loose steering column connector that can disable gear shifting, electronic stability control, the driver's airbag, and turn signals. On the fuel side, the fuel pump can shut down without warning, cutting drive power while the vehicle is in motion. A software fault in the airbag control unit can deactivate the passenger seat occupant sensor, leaving the front passenger airbag turned off in a crash. There is also a separate software error that can disable the rear turn signals, hazard lights, and reverse lights, making the vehicle harder for other drivers to see.
