Inspect Transmission Wiring Harness Routing
This is to notify you of the Safety and Emissions Recall Campaign Launch to inspect the transmission wiring harness routing on 8,178 Model Year (“MY”) 2022-2023 C-Class (206 platform) vehicles. The recall campaign will be visible on the www.NHTSA.gov website and may generate questions from customers. Affected VINs will be flagged in VMI as “OPEN” on August 4, 2023.
Issue
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain Model Year (“MY”) 2022-2023 C-Class (206 platform) vehicles with 4MATIC, the length of the transmission wiring harness might not meet current specifications. In this case, the transmission wiring harness could chafe on the front drive shaft, which could potentially damage the wiring harness and result in a loss of vehicle propulsion. This might increase the risk of a crash. If the failure occurs, the driver would be made aware through a warning message (e.g. “Transmission Malfunction Stop”, “Drive Malfunction Stop Restart Vehicle”, “Drive Malfunction Stop Contact Dealer”, or “Service Required Do Not Change Transmission Position”) in the instrument cluster.
What We’re Doing
MBUSA will conduct a voluntary recall. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will inspect the transmission wiring harness routing on the affected vehicles and rework it, if necessary.
Parts
The remedy is available and can be performed. The approximate replacement rate of the wiring harness is less than 1%. Do not order parts before inspection is complete.
Given this notice, it is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to sell or lease any new vehicles in dealer inventory covered by this notification until the vehicle has been repaired. Once the remedy is available, the vehicles will be flagged as “OPEN” and Work Instructions will be available in NetStar VMI and Xentry Portal. Once the repair is complete the vehicle may be sold or leased.
Loaner and demonstrator vehicles may continue to be driven, but must not be retailed until repaired. As a matter of normal service process, please check for other repair measures which might be applicable to the vehicle(s).
Additionally, given this notice, it is a violation of Federal Law for car rental companies to rent new vehicles covered by this notification until the vehicle has been repaired.
Notice to California Dealers: As required by 13 CCR 2117, a proof of correction (“POC”) certificate showing that the vehicle has been repaired under this recall must be issued by the dealer, and that such a certificate may be required by California as a condition of vehicle re-registration or operation. Please reference this POC in the attached work instructions. Failure to complete this step may result in fines and penalties and lead to customer dissatisfaction.

Chronology :
In September 2022, MBAG initiated investigations into an individual field report outside the US describing the vehicle’s transmission erroneously shifting into neutral. No crash, personal injury, or third party damages were reported in connection with this field report. The vehicle was inspected and repaired at a local dealership.
Based on the report, MBAG commenced an investigation to determine the root cause of the issue. Together with the local supplier, MBAG evaluated the tolerances of several wiring harnesses and found that the dimension of some transmission wiring harnesses slightly exceeded the specified tolerance range.
In November 2022, MBAG received a field report in the US involving a customer vehicle that triggered the check engine light. Based on this information, MBAG investigated whether the report could relate to the length of the wiring harness.
In February 2023, MBAG expanded its investigation to assess the potential consequences of chafing to the wiring harness on the front drive shaft.
In April 2023, MBAG expanded its investigation further to consider additional field reports to determine the extent of effects caused by chafing of the wiring harness. The analyses also limited the out-of-specification wiring harnesses to specific production batches. Subsequently, MBAG used this information to determine the potentially affected vehicle population equipped with the out-of-specification wiring harnesses.
On June 23, 2023, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall.
MBAG is currently aware of 1 field report in the US received on November 15, 2022. MBAG has not received any reports of crashes, injuries, deaths or property damage associated with this issue.

Production Dates : JUN 24, 2021 – SEP 27, 2022 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain Model Year (“MY”) 2022-2023 C-Class (206 platform) vehicles with 4Matic, the length of the transmission wiring harness might not meet current specifications. FMVSS 1 : NR Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-462 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In this case, the transmission wiring harness could chafe on the front drive shaft, which could potentially damage the wiring harness in a loss of vehicle propulsion. This might increase the risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : Due to a production deviation at a supplier, the length of a certain batch of wiring harnesses might be outside the specified tolerance range. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : The driver would not receive advance warning due to the nature of the failure mechanism. If the failure occurs, the driver would be made aware through a warning message (e.g. “Transmission Malfunction Stop”, “Drive Malfunction Stop Restart Vehicle”, “Drive Malfunction Stop Contact Dealer”, and “Service Required Do Not Change Transmission Position”) in the instrument cluster.

No crash, personal injury, or third party damages were reported in connection with this field report. The vehicle was inspected and repaired at a local dealership. Based on the report, MBAG commenced an investigation to determine the root cause of the issue. Together with the local supplier, MBAG evaluated the tolerances of several wiring harnesses and found that the dimension of some transmission wiring harnesses slightly exceeded the specified tolerance range. In November 2022, MBAG received a field report in the US involving a customer vehicle that triggered the check engine light. Based on this information, MBAG investigated whether the report could relate to the length of the wiring harness. In February 2023, MBAG expanded its investigation to assess the potential consequences of chafing to the wiring harness on the front drive shaft. In April 2023, MBAG expanded its investigation further to consider additional field reports to determine the extent of effects caused by chafing of the wiring harness. The analyses also limited the out-of-specification wiring harnesses to specific production batches. Subsequently, MBAG used this information to determine the potentially affected vehicle population equipped with the out-of-specification wiring harnesses. On June 23, 2023, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall. MBAG is currently aware of 1 field report in the US received on November 15, 2022. MBAG has not received any reports of crashes, injuries, deaths or property damage associated with this issue. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership, will inspect the routing of the transmission wiring harness on the affected vehicles and rework it, if necessary. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 577.11(e), MBUSA does not plan to provide notice about pre-notice reimbursement to owners since none of the involved vehicles would have been previously subject to the condition described and all remain covered under the new vehicle warranty. How Remedy Component Differs Transmission wiring harness according to the length of specified tolerance range.
