Around 15,000 Mercedes-Benz EVs have been recalled in the US due to faulty battery management software. The recall affects models like the 2023 and above Benz EQE, the EQS, and the EQS SUV, to name a few. Owners of the affected cars will be notified starting next month.

    While the problem reportedly resolves after a restart, it could show up without any notice on the instrument cluster. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz will issue letters to owners of recalled EVs starting July 23 2024 after which they can head over to a dealer and get the battery management software updated free of cost.

    Seriously? No OTA update capability? Have to take it into the local parts replacer? Do these vehicles not have onboard connectivity?

      OTA update capability is a security failure, but you do you
