Mercedes-Benz bulletin LI80.35-P-080195
Mercedes-Benz filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jul 31, 2026, received Jan 14, 2026, about the electrical system — 3 documents under this number. It names 4 model years (2023–2026). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.
What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationComplaint "Key Not Detected" message appears on the IC while driving even though the key is in the car and no doors have been opened. Cause Possible SW Remedy Confirm that the message is not due to the driver's door being opened and that the door latch is reading properly. For vehicles that do not have the above issues, SW is released for option code 805 ONLY. For all other vehicles, the SW is still in development. Current workaround is to ensure that the key is left on the antenna in the storage compartment.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Mercedes-Benz LI80.35-P-080195 a recall?
No. A service bulletin 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 LI80.35-P-080195 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
