Mercedes-Benz is recalling 144,049 versions of the brand's 2024-2026 AMG GT, C-Class, E-Class, SL-Class, CLE-Class, and GLC-Class vehicles. The issue centers around the infotainment control unit that may reset while the vehicle is in motion. If this happens, the instrument panel display will go blank, causing a safety hazard.


To remedy this potential danger, Mercedes-Benz dealers will update the infotainment control unit software, free of charge. Owners of the affected vehicle should have a letter mailed out to them by June 26, 2026. For the time being, customers can contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
