What's wrong?
The fuse box on affected 2023-2024 Mercedes-Benz vehicles holds an 80-Amp fuse that protects key electrical circuits. A fuse is designed to carry power during normal operation and break the circuit when electrical current goes beyond its limit. That protection keeps wiring and connected systems from being overloaded.
In this recall, certain 80-Amp fuses were built outside production specifications at the supplier. The defect is inside the fuse, so it can stop carrying power when the vehicle needs that circuit to operate. Mercedes-Benz first saw the issue as vehicles that would not start before leaving the plant, then concluded an impaired fuse can fail later in service.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver will not receive an advance alert because the failure mechanism does not give the vehicle a way to warn you first.

What's the safety risk?
An 80-Amp fuse failure can cut drive power or disable critical safety functions, including the restraint systems or instrument cluster. That raises the risk of a crash or injury, and the recall also identifies increased fire risk. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the repair promptly. Repair is free at any franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Mercedes-Benz C 300, S 580, Glc 300, or another listed model is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer to schedule the free main-fuse-box replacement that addresses the incorrectly manufactured 80-Amp fuses.
- Bring the recall notice if Mercedes-Benz mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V115 and Mercedes-Benz recall 2024030008 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Stop in a safe place if the vehicle loses drive power or critical safety functions.
