Mercedes-Benz S 580 4MATIC, Maybach S 580 4MATIC engine control software lambda control error

Country	South Korea
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-01-16
Manufacturer	Mercedes-Benz Korea
Models affected	S 580 4MATIC, Maybach S 580 4MATIC
Units affected	4068
Defect	Due to a software development process error, the engine control unit software's lambda control may not operate normally. In such cases, the amount of fuel injected by the lambda control system may increase, leading to a rise in exhaust temperature and potential damage to surrounding components (e.g., engine wiring, catalytic converter). This could result in a loss of propulsion without prior warning, and the possibility of fire risk cannot be ruled out, necessitating a recall.
Component	Engine (power generation unit) and other components
Remedy	Update with improved engine control unit software and replacement of damaged wiring or catalytic converter if necessary.
