Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) is recalling four model year 2019 GLA 250s.

The power supply for the automatic transmission control unit might be interrupted while the vehicle is being driven, possibly causing the transmission to shift into neutral.

If the transmission shifts into neutral, there would be loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission control unit free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin March 30, 2021.

Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at (800) 367-6372.
