Mercedes Benz M Class: Transmission May Lock At Low Speed

Recalling firm
MERCEDES BENZ UK LIMITED
Product
Vehicles: MERCEDES BENZ M CLASS, MERCEDES BENZ S-CLASS HYBRID. Units affected: 26
Reason
The high-voltage battery charger may not have been produced to specification which could lead to an incorrect detection of an external charging cable. This in turn can lead the request for �P� to be activated. If the speed is less than 5 km/h the transmission would activate the park pawl function which will prevent the vehicle from driving further and could increase the risk of an incident. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the high-voltage charger on the affected vehicles.
