Chronology :

In May 2021, MBAG initiated initial investigations based on individual field reports from jurisdictions outside of the USA. Those reports described instances of various different instrument cluster messages pertaining to the vehicle dynamic control system functions. No third party damages or personal injuries were reported.

MBAG requested and obtained relevant parts of affected vehicles for further analysis. These parts were analyzed in cooperation with the suppliers of the sensors and the wiring harness. In mid-July, MBAGโ€™s investigation detected indications of damage to the wiring harness. MBAG then performed pull tests in order to identify potentially affected batches of the wiring harness. Ultimately, the issue could not be limited to certain production batches.

On August 10, 2021 a single field case was reported in the USA. Inspection by the servicing dealer determined that there were no warrantable claims on the vehicle related to this defect report.

In September 2021, MBAG conducted analyses using adjusted wiring harnesses. Those analyses indicated that the length of the wiring harness had an influence on the vehicle dynamic control system functions. In October 2021, further investigations were performed to assess conditions that are necessary for the observed failure.

In general, no associated personal injuries or third party damages have been reported in connection with the wiring harness deviation.

On January 21, 2022, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall.
