Premier luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 144,049 vehicles due to a potential defect in instrument panel displays that may fail to display critical safety information, such as warning lights and speedometer readings, increasing the risk of an accident.
A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) notice posted on X on May 8 indicates that the recall affects certain 2024–2026 AMG GT, C-Class, E-Class, SL, CLE, and GLC models. The NHTSA noted that the infotainment control unit may reset while the vehicle is in motion, causing the display panel to go blank.
