The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S 500 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a faulty 80-amp fuse that can fail and cut power to critical systems including the airbags and instrument cluster, raising the risk of a crash or injury.
The remaining two recalls both involve the fuel pump, which can shut down without warning and cut drive power while the vehicle is in motion. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why two separate campaigns address the same underlying problem. In either case, the result is the same: the engine stops delivering power, leaving the driver without the ability to accelerate or maintain speed in traffic.
