Damaged wires may cause a short circuit and result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, a short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.

Corrective Action

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, correct the screw connections and position of the positive cable, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin May 25, 2021. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
