Mercedes-Benz India has issued a voluntary recall for the S-Class, S-Class Maybach, SL 55 AMG, GLC and EQS models for a potential fire risk. The recall involves an issue with the fuse boxes on each of the vehicles, which may not have been correctly reworked. The voluntary recalls affect 30 vehicles and are the brand’s sixth recall in the country this year.

The recall details shared with the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) read, “It has been identified that the fuse boxes might not have been reworked correctly. As a result, systems connected to the fuse might fail, and the vehicle might lose its propulsion without prior warning, and the restraint functions or the instrument cluster might also be impaired, increasing the risk of a crash and injuries. Under such specific circumstances, a potential risk of a thermal incident in the vehicle cannot be excluded.”
