Mercedes-Benz filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Sep 20, 2024, received Sep 23, 2024, about the unknown or other. It names 1 model year (2024).

What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationMercedes-Benz AG, the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain MY 2024 EQS (296 platform) vehicles, the supplementary booklet for the digital key was not included with the vehicle. Consequently, the digital key cannot be activated and as a result, it will become invalid and non-functional. MBUSA will conduct a service campaign. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will add the supplementary booklet.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.
