In addition, Mercedes will also recall a total of 12,750 imported S-Class vehicles produced between July 29, 2020 and September 8, 2021. These vehicles may have software issues with the auxiliary vehicle electrical system voltage converter, and after the energy of the auxiliary vehicle electrical system battery is consumed, it may not be replenished as expected, affecting the functionality of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic stability program (ESP), posing a safety hazard.
