Recall 25V830000 · manufacturer campaign 2025120003

What's wrong

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2024-2025 AMG EQE SUV 4MATIC vehicles. The external pedestrian warning sound may not continuously increase in volume as vehicle speed increases, due to a software error. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid Electric Vehicles."

The risk

Insufficient pedestrian warning sounds may fail to alert pedestrians of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will update the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 12, 2026. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on December 5, 2025. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2025120003.

Vehicles covered by this recall
