Mercedes-Maybach service campaign 2024110001
Mercedes-Maybach filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Dec 6, 2024, received Dec 11, 2024, about the engine. It names 2 model years (2018). 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.
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 2018 S-Class (222 platform) vehicles, the engine control unit software does not correspond to current Specifications. As a consequence, the evaporative leak detection system may not reliably detect leaks of 0.5 millimeters. MBUSA will conduct a service campaign. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the engine control unit software.

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.

None of these model years has a page on this site (it covers EPA-certified cars, trucks and SUVs from 2016), so the bulletin is listed here on its own.
