Mercedes-Benz E-Class vehicles: 48V ground wire connecting bolt may be unsecured

Country	South Korea
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-05-09
Manufacturer	Mercedes-Benz Korea Co., Ltd.
Models affected	E 220 d 4MATIC, E 300 4MATIC, E 200, E 450 4MATIC
Units affected	33
Defect	Due to a production process error, the connecting bolt of the 48V ground wire may not have been properly secured. In such cases, the contact area between the ground wire's terminal and the bolt is reduced, which can increase electrical resistance. Consequently, if a high current flows, the temperature at the 48V ground wire connection point can rise, and the risk of fire cannot be completely ruled out. This recall is initiated as a result of this finding.
Component	Other electrical devices
Remedy	Inspection of the 48V ground connection bolt and rework if necessary.
Recall number	K5696
