Mercedes-Benz filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Sep 27, 2024. It names 17 model years across Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Maybach (2021–2024). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Mercedes-Benz 2024080004 a recall?
No. A service campaign is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 2024080004 repair free?
A service campaign is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does 2024080004 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 17 model years across 2 brands (Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Maybach): 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS, 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS, 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS, 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
