Left Handlebar Switch Harness Failure
Symptom: The horn does not sound and/or the headlight may not be switched from low beam to high beam.
Phase 1 – Campaign 3RC (temporary repair)The countermeasure left handlebar switch is not expected to be available until January 2026 therefore a temporary repair to secure the left handlebar switch harness to the handlebar using repair bands can be carried out to help reduce any possible failure. Phase 2 – Campaign 3RD Replace the left handlebar switch assembly with countermeasure parts kit that eliminates the joints inside the wire harness.
Software update for battery control unit
On affected vehicles there may be defective battery modules which may result in a fire hazard when charging the high-voltage battery.
Update the software of the high-voltage battery to improve the self-diagnosis capabilities. Vehicle owners are advised to not charge the high-voltage battery using external charging sources and also not use the e-tron modes “Battery charge” and “Battery hold” until the update is applied.

ASA8 Recall campaign - Re-coding airbag control unit
On affected vehicles the cabling for the crash sensors in the door trim panel was incorrectly assigned which can delay the side airbag trigger in certain crash situations.
Re-code the airbag control unit.
ASA9 Recall campaign - Check the high-pressure pump connections and if necessary replace the high-pressure pumps including fuel lines
On affected vehicles the screw connection of the high-pressure pump was not implemented in accordance with the technical specifications. This can lead to a leak and the possibility of the fuel igniting.
Check the screw connections of both high-pressure pumps and replace the high-pressure pumps and fuel lines if necessary.
Replace the Engine Starter Motor
For affected vehicles local overheating may occur at the electrical contacts of the vehicle's engine starter motor. This may cause an increase in current flow resulting in local overheating or risk of thermal event.
Replacement of the starter motor.
Mustang: Incorrect Homologation details on VIN label
Affected vehicles may not show the correct Homologation regulation on the Vehicle Identification (VIN) label.
Replace the VIN label.
SRPC2514 - Driving Assistance System Software
Mercedes-Benz AG has determined that on certain CLA (174 platform) vehicles the software of the driving assistance system might not meet specifications.
As a remedy Mercedes-Benz AG via its Mercedes-Benz service partners will update the software of the driving assistance system on the affected vehicles.
Screw Connection of the Power Supply
On affected vehicles the screw connection on the B+ power distributor in the vehicle's boot may have not been properly tightened.
On affected vehicles the connections will be reworked.
Replace the Front Passenger Airbag Takata PSPI
For vehicles fitted with a Takata front passenger airbag with a PSPI inflator these vehicles have previously received a like for like replacement front passenger airbag via a previous safety recall campaign.
The front passenger airbag module of the affected vehicles will now be replaced by an airbag module or an inflator that does not contain ammonium nitrate.
Seatbelt Torsion Bar
For affected vehicles there is a potential defect in the torsion bar within the front seatbelt system.
Replacement of the affected seat belts.
Townstar Van (XFK) Rear Door Striker
For affected vehicles there is a risk of head contact with the rear door latch. Due to the sharp edges of the door latch there is a risk of injury when head contact occurs.
Installation of a cover to the striker bar to protect the customer from the sharp edge.
Title of Recall SRL250925 – Change parameters in front radar sensor (RDF) control unit – RDF-HOE
As part of our continuous quality monitoring we have identified that the vehicle-specific RDF3 (radar front end) installation height value has not been parameterized in Econic 956 Actros 963 Arocs 964 Atego 967 and eActros 983 model vehicles. Instead of the vehicle-specific installation height value a substitute value of 1 m has been entered. The substitute value is always higher than the actual installation situation. RDF3 is responsible for object recognition detecting clearance as well as close and long-range processing. It can also detect the ability to drive under and over objects which enables a radar-only reaction as part of the ABA functionality. Since the sensor value is parameterized higher than the actual installation height trucks ahead may not be detected particularly on inclines. This may lead to the fact that automatic braking by the ABA may not being triggered. Furthermore incorrect parameterization may lead to objects on the ground such as tracks manhole covers etc. being erroneously detected as obstacles causing ABA to brake the vehicle. This may increase the risk of accident.
As a permanent measure we wish to determine the installation height of the RDF3 manually and parameterize the determined value in potentially affected vehicles as part of this recall campaign.

25C43 Mustang - Inspection For Water Intrusion Into The Body Control Module And Connectors
A number of vehicles could potentially be affected by water ingress in the Body Control Module (BCM) leading to corrosion inside. Water ingress into the BCM may prevent exterior lighting components from functioning as intended.
Inspect and repair the windscreen for leaks if necessary. Replace BCMs affected by water ingress.
Consumer warning and recall of motorhomes due to possible gas leakage from the gas cooker pipe
For affected vehicles a crack in the gas cookers filling pipe may cause a continuous gas leak when the gas cylinder is opened. The gas -air mixture could be ignited by a heat source and could result in deflagration and/or a fire in the vehicle. It is also possible that a jet of flame could shoot out of the gas cooker towards someone.
Owners of affected vehicles will be asked to immediately close the gas supply to the cooker by turning off the gas shut off valve to the horizontal position then affix the supplied warning sticker to inform potential users that it must be kept closed. Affected owners will then be contacted again to visit their authorised dealer to have the cooker replaced.
WHEELCHAIR SECUREMENT Retractor may not lock as designed
Affected retractors may intermittently fail to auto-lock when a wheelchair is installed at a seating position equipped with an affected retractor. If this should occur a wheelchair may be inadequately restrained and the wheelchair occupant could be injured in the event of a crash.
Affected retractors will be replaced with a free replacement retractor.
