What's wrong?
The front short-range radar sensor control unit on affected 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 EV and AMG G63 vehicles watches the road ahead for obstacles and vehicles. Its printed circuit board is the electronic board inside the sensor that carries signals between tiny components. That information supports automatic emergency braking and driver assistance features such as active brake assist, lane keeping assist, and Distronic cruise control.
On these vehicles, a supplier production deviation affected a batch of printed circuit boards. The issue involves a via, which is a small electrical pathway through the board. If that pathway does not meet Mercedes-Benz production specifications, the radar sensor board can fail and the vehicle can lose those assistance functions.
Owners should not expect a warning sign before the sensor failure. There is no warning sign before failure. The concern is that the driver assistance systems stop working when the radar sensor control unit fails.
