Chronology of Defect/Noncompliance Determination Supplement for ODI 22-00855-31051-10
In October 2023, MBAG investigated a single field report from a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Denmark describing a warning message in the new vehicle’s instrument cluster related to the high voltage battery system that appeared prior to delivery of the vehicle to the customer. In November 2023, MBAG received a report alleging reduced drive power with a similar warning message in the US. In parallel, MBAG conducted further investigations of the described occurrences. MBAG initially hypothesized that the reported occurrences might stem from a fault in the battery management system of the high-voltage battery. However, further analyses showed that if the battery management system in certain vehicle models received an extraordinarily high volume of diagnostic requests from the vehicle’s control units, the module’s memory could be overloaded. In that event, the battery control module would re-set, in accordance with the design specifications. Between December 2023 and April 2024, MBAG conducted further investigations to determine the conditions and circumstances that might trigger a high volume of diagnostic requests from the control modules. This investigation has not identified any initial functional defect in software of those control units. However further testing indicated that a diagnostic data overflow to the battery management system could result in reduced power output or, in rare circumstances, a loss of propulsion.
The cause was narrowed down to various control units that were installed starting with change year 2023/1. Based on this knowledge, the known field cases were re-examined in April 2024. According to the results of the analysis the vehicles from all known field cases were produced after the referenced change year. Based on this finding, in May 2024 MBAG reviewed production records to determine the potentially affected vehicle population. On May 17, 2024, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall.
MBAG is currently aware of 17 field reports received from December 11, 2023 to March 26, 2024 in the US. MBAG is aware of no other information (such as the numbers of deaths and/or injuries) related to this defect in the USA.

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”) 2023-2025 EQE SUV (294 platform), EQE (295 platform), EQS SUV (296 platform) and EQS (297 platform) vehicles, the battery management system software might not meet current production specifications and may lead to a shutdown of the high- voltage system in specific situations.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : In this case, the contactors of the high-voltage battery might open, potentially resulting in a loss of propulsion without prior warning. As a consequence the risk of a crash might increase. When the vehicle comes to a standstill it can be restarted.
Description of the Cause : Due to a deviation in the software development process, continuous diagnostic requests from other control units might overload the memory capacity of the battery management system. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : The driver will not receive a warning due to the nature of the failure mechanism.

Country : NR Chronology :
In October 2023, MBAG investigated a single field report from a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Denmark describing a warning message in the new vehicle’s instrument cluster related to the high voltage battery system that appeared prior to delivery of the vehicle to the customer. In November 2023, MBAG received a report alleging reduced drive power with a similar warning message in the US. In parallel, MBAG conducted further investigations of the described occurrences. MBAG initially hypothesized that the reported occurrences might stem from a fault in the battery management system of the high-voltage battery. However, further analyses showed that if the battery management system in certain vehicle models received an extraordinarily high volume of diagnostic requests from the vehicle’s control units, the module’s memory could be overloaded. In that event, the battery control module would re-set, in accordance with the design specifications. Between December 2023 and April 2024, MBAG conducted further investigations to determine the conditions and circumstances that might trigger a high volume of diagnostic requests from the control modules. This investigation has not identified any initial functional defect in software of those control units. However further testing indicated that a diagnostic data overflow to the battery management system could result in reduced power output or, in rare circumstances, a loss of propulsion.
The cause was narrowed down to various control units that were installed starting with change year 2023/1. Based on this knowledge, the known field cases were re-examined in April 2024. According to the results of the analysis the vehicles from all known field cases were produced after the referenced change year. Based on this finding, in May 2024 MBAG reviewed production records to determine the potentially affected vehicle population. See chronology supplement Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the battery management
system software on the potentially affected vehicles. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : 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.
Vehicles outside of the recall population have battery management system software that meets current production specifications. Remedy Part No: The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-372

Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production :
A change in the development process ensures that this issue can no longer occur from May 13, 2024 onwards. Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : Dealers will be notified of the pending voluntary recall campaign on June
3, 2024. Owners will be notified of the voluntary recall campaign before July 23, 2024. A copy of all communications will be provided when available.
Planned Dealer Notification Date : JUN 03, 2024 – NR Planned Owner Notification Date : JUL 23, 2024 – NR
