The 80-amp fuses may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause them to fail.
Failure of the 80-amp fuse can result in a sudden loss of drive power or a loss of critical safety functions such as the restraint systems or instrument cluster, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
There could also be an increased risk of a fire.
What to do
Dealers will replace the main fuse boxes, free of charge.
Owners will be notified of the issue by letter beginning April 16, 2024.
Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at (800) 367-6372.
