Chronology :
In mid of November 2021, MBAG launched initial investigations based on an individual report from an internal vehicle in Germany that some MBUX functions and applications were not deactivated as intended while driving. Analysis of this case indicated that starting in November an incorrect configuration was available on Mercedes-Benz’s backend server and might have been installed on vehicles in the field.
In the further course of the investigations, a detailed analysis of the consequences and possible regulatory requirements was performed. In parallel, potentially affected vehicles were identified. To date, there have been no reports of this unintended event in the United States. Mercedes-Benz is aware of no reports of crashes or injuries caused by this anomaly anywhere. On November 19, 2021, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and acting in an abundance of caution, decided to conduct a recall.

Analysis of this case indicated that starting in November an incorrect configuration was available on Mercedes- Benz’s backend server and might have been installed on vehicles in the field. In the further course of the investigations, a detailed analysis of the consequences and possible regulatory requirements was performed. In parallel, potentially affected vehicles were identified. To date, there have been no reports of this unintended event in the United States. Mercedes-Benz is aware of no reports of crashes or injuries caused by this anomaly anywhere. On November 19, 2021, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and acting in an abundance of caution, decided to conduct a recall. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-931 Page 5 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : As a precautionary measure, Mercedes-Benz AG has updated the configuration on the MBAG server that connects with potentially affected vehicles in the United States. This has been performed by means of a correction in a Mercedes-Benz computer server (“backend”). Vehicles that were not able to be updated via the Mercedes-Benz server will have an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer update the configuration for the MBUX system in the affected vehicles. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Configuration of the MBUX system according to specification. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : A change in documentation ensures that this issue can no longer occur from November 16, 2021 onwards. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Dealers will be notified of the pending voluntary recall campaign on December 6, 2021. Subject to further discussion with NHTSA, Mercedes- Benz may plan to issue a notice to customers regarding the server error correction within 60 day notice period. Per NHTSA guidance, customer letters will be sent to customers who have not received the update via the Mercedes-Benz server within the first 60 days of notice period.
