SUMMARY:
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain model year 2015 S550 Hybrid
vehicles manufactured April 24, 2015, to June 12, 2015.
The affected vehicles are equipped with a high voltage onboard charger that may not have been built to specification, and as a result, the charging function for an external charging cable might not function and the onboard charger may incorrectly detect a charging cable, even while the vehicle is being driven.
CONSEQUENCE:
If the charging cable is incorrectly detected and the vehicle is stopped or moving at a very slow speed, the vehicle may unexpectedly shift to park, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the onboard charger, free of charge.
The recall began on January 27, 2016.
Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
