2021 MERCEDES-BENZ S 580 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S 580 has 7 recalls, the most serious involving engine stall risks: a software error in the engine control unit and a faulty fuel tank pump can each cause the engine to cut out without warning and refuse to restart. A third engine-related recall involves the Camtronic valve system, where a mechanical failure can trigger the engine control software to stall the engine or cause it to overheat, raising a fire risk. On the safety equipment side, the airbag control unit on 4Matic models may not be properly secured, which can cause airbags or seatbelts to deploy unexpectedly or fail to deploy correctly in a crash. There is also a structural concern: if the bulkhead between the engine bay and the passenger compartment is not fully sealed, water can leak into the cabin and disable the seatbelt pretensioners and seat adjustment systems. Two additional issues round out the list: a fixed glass roof panel on one specific vehicle may not be properly bonded and can detach while driving, and the automatic emergency call system may fail to connect or transmit the vehicle's location when needed.
