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 2021-2023 S-Class (223 platform) vehicles, the lens hood of the multifunction camera may not correspond to current production specifications. The polarity of the wires in the connector housing for the lens hood may be switched. As a consequence, the multifunction camera view may be reduced and a “camera view restricted� message may be present in the instrument cluster. The rear-view camera is not affected. MBUSA will conduct a service campaign. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will check the wiring of the lens hood and replace the lens hood of the multifunction camera if necessary.
