What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationPicked out of NHTSA’s summary below, word for word. The document itself is the record, and the dealer checks the VIN.
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz, has determined that on certain MY 2022-2024 EQE and EQS (294, 295, 296, and 297 platforms) vehicles, the Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) label in the engine compartment may not be readily visible to a customer, since the Operator’s Manual directs that only workshop personnel are permitted to open the hood. MBUSA will conduct an Emission Service Campaign. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will apply an additional VECI Label on the driver’s door of affected vehicles, so that the label is readily visible to the customer. Affected customers will be notified via First Class letter to have the additional VECI label on the driver’s door of their vehicles.

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.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Mercedes-Benz 2025010004 a recall?
No. A emissions communication 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 2025010004 repair free?
A emissions communication 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 2025010004 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 6 model years across 2 brands (Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Maybach): 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE, 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE, 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS, 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS, 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS, 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV 680 4MATIC. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
