In September 2023, investigations were launched based on a vehicle that wouldn't start because of a problem with the fuse. Engineers at first believed the fuse problem would be discovered before the vehicles left the assembly plants.
However, Mercedes later concluded the fuse problem could occur over the lifetime of the vehicle.
According to Mercedes, a "contact interruption or an increased triggering resistance might occur. In this case, systems connected to the fuse might become inoperable."
A vehicle may stall without warning, there may be problems with the restraint systems and the instrument panels may malfunction. Mercedes also says it cannot rule out a risk of fire.
More than 4,500 Mercedes vehicles are recalled in Canada.
Dealerships will replace the main fuse boxes.
Mercedes fuse box recall letters will be mailed April 16, 2024, but owners may call 800-367-6372.
