DEFECT #1 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
Posted on: 2015-10-14
Description
Mercedes-benz usa llc (mercedes-benz) is recalling certain model year 2014 s63 amg sedans and 2015-2016 s63 amg 4matic sedans and coupes manufactured may 14, 2013, to september 18, 2015. In the affected vehicles, due to a software error within the engine control unit, the vehicle may stall when coasting to a stop, such as at a traffic light.
Consequence
The vehicle stall may be interpreted by the driver to be a planned shut-down as part of the eco-start-function. However, the engine will not restart automatically after releasing the brake pedal, immobilizing the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Mercedes-benz will notify owners, and dealers will update the engine control unit software, free of charge. The recall began on december 2, 2015. Owners may contact mercedes-benz customer service at 1-800-367-6372. Mercedes-benz's number for this recall is 2015100003.
