Each campaign in detail

  1. Boîte à fusibles mal réparée (rappel 2023)

    Manufacturer recall

    Un rappel (alerte européenne Rapex SR/02431/25, code Mercedes 8297014 et 8297015) vise des Mercedes, dont l'EQS SUV, fabriquées entre le 31 janvier et le 17 octobre 2023 : une boîte à fusibles mal réparée peut provoquer des ruptures de contact ou des calibres de fusible incorrects, avec perte de puissance inopinée, dégradation des systèmes de retenue ou du combiné d'instruments, voire blessures ou incendie. Source unique (agrégateur non officiel) : à confirmer par le numéro de châssis chez un concessionnaire.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

    Single source so far: to be confirmed.
