| Background | |
| Issue | Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on various Model Year (“MY”) 13-17 vehicles (see supplementary page), the software of the communication module might not meet current production specifications. This communication module is used to communicate the vehicle’s location for the emergency call system (eCall), in addition to other convenience features. Due to a software fault in the communication module as provided by the supplier, the date and time as determined from the GPS satellite data could differ from the actual date and time starting on November 4, 2019. The correct date and time are necessary for the “Assisted-GPS” function to determine the vehicle position. If there are any date and time differences, the control unit’s ability to identify the GPS satellites that are necessary for the position determination would be affected. As a result, a determination of the vehicle’s position would be delayed or not possible. Note that some vehicles may have already successfully received an “Over-the-Air” (“OTA”) update. |
| What We’re Doing | MBUSA will conduct a voluntary recall. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will check to verify whether the vehicle has received the updated software of the communication module on the affected vehicles and update if necessary. |

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL 2019120008
This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN:
Communication Module Software
NHTSA Recall # 19V787
December, 2019
|
2019120008
Dear Mercedes-Benz Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year (“MY”) 2013-2017 B-Class, C-Class, CLA-Class, CLS-Class, E-Class, G-Class, GL-Class, GLA-Class, GLC-Class, GLE-Class, GLK-Class, GLS-Class, GT-Class, M-Class, S-Class, SL-Class, and SLK-Class vehicles. Our records indicate that your vehicle is included in the affected population of vehicles.
| What is the CONCERN? | MBAG has determined that on certain MY 13-17 vehicles referenced above, the communication module software might not meet current production specifications. In addition to providing other convenience features, this communication module is used to communicate the vehicle’s location for the emergency call system (eCall). As a result, the determination of the vehicle’s position would be delayed or would not be possible at all. Thus, in case of an eCall activation, an inaccurate vehicle position might be sent to the Mercedes-Benz emergency call center and delay emergency responders, increasing the risk of injury. |
| What will your DEALER DO? | To remedy this issue, MBAG has initiated an Over-the-Air (“OTA”) update. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will check that the OTA was successful, and update the software of the communication module on the affected vehicles, if necessary. This service will be provided free of charge. We are dedicated to always delivering the best customer experience, and respect for your time is a top priority. While the minimum repair time can be up to 30 minutes, your dealer can provide you with a better estimate of the overall time for this service visit. As a matter of normal service process, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will also check for other repair measures which might be applicable to your vehicle and this may increase the required working time. |
| What should YOU DO? | For additional information and to schedule an appointment, please contact your preferred authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer at your earliest convenience. To locate authorized dealers see www.mbusa.com/recall. Please mention you are scheduling an appointment to check the communication module software update under Recall Campaign #2019120008.
You may be asked for your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) which for your convenience is located above your name at the top of this letter. |
| Information for Owners | In the event that you are no longer the vehicle owner, or have had a change of address, please complete the reverse side and return the updated information in the enclosed envelope.
If this is a leased vehicle and the lessor and registered owner receive this notice, please forward this information by first class mail to the lessee within 10 business days to comply with Federal Regulations. |

A VIN-based recall lookup tool on our MBUSA.com website now offers a search feature that will indicate whether a vehicle has been subject to a safety recall, and whether that vehicle has had the free remedy performed.

If for any reason a dealer is unable to remedy your situation, we are always happy to hear from you. Please contact us at 1-(800) FOR-MERCEDES (1-800-367-6372).
If an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer for any reason is unable to remedy the situation without charge, or within a reasonable amount of time, pursuant to law 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590 or call the toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153); or go to https://www.safercar.gov.
