5 recalls across 3 model years
The Mercedes-Benz S 580 E has 5 recalls covering the 2023–2024 model years, with the most serious being a faulty 80-amp fuse on 2023–2024 vehicles that can fail and cause a sudden loss of drive power or knock out the airbag system and instrument cluster.
On the fuel side, 2023 models have a fuel pump that can shut down without warning, cutting drive power while the vehicle is in motion. There is also a brake concern on 2023 models where the front brake hoses can rupture and leak fluid, extending stopping distances. A separate software issue on 2023 models can disable the anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, and electronic brake distribution simultaneously, and can also cause the speedometer to stop displaying vehicle speed. Rounding out the 2023 recalls, the high-voltage battery monitoring software may fail to alert the driver when the battery develops a malfunction, removing an early warning that would otherwise prompt attention before a more serious problem develops.
