But in cars that have been recalled, the software may not properly detect driver inactivity. This reduces the chances of timely activation of automatic braking and assistance systems. However, this does not affect the normal braking system or the driver’s control, the company has clarified.
Customers who own the above models should contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer with the VIN number of their car. Along with this, the company itself will also contact the affected customers.
A free software update will be provided to fix this issue. This update needs to be done as soon as possible as it is a security issue. Also, if you are thinking of buying a second-hand Mercedes of these models, it is important to ensure that the recall update has been completed on the vehicle.
