2024–2025 Mercedes-AMG W214 E53 Hybrid: transmission wiring harness may chafe against the front driveshaft
In January 2026, recall campaign RC5189 was issued for 2024–2025 Mercedes-AMG W214 E53 Hybrid vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, the transmission wiring harness may chafe against the front driveshaft and become damaged. This could lead to a sudden loss of drive (or “motive power”) without warning. A sudden loss of drive could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and/or other road users. Separately, the vehicle may experience reduced emissions performance. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006530.
