SUBJECT

Model E-Class or S-Class (213, 217, 222 platform) vehicles Model Year 2018 and 2019 

Mercedes-Benz AG ("MBAG"), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain MY 18-19 E-Class and S-Class (213, 217, 222 platform) vehicles, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) software may not meet current production specifications. As a result, the vehicle's Malfunction Indicator Lamp ("MIL") could incorrectly illuminate due to one of three potential faults: an incorrect detection of an engine misfire, incorrect detection of the fuel tank ventilation valve position, or an incorrect detection of the battery supply voltage. Furthermore, under certain conditions, it is possible that the incorrect software could lead to a reduction of the vehicle's engine power output. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the ECU software on the affected vehicles.

Prior to performing this Service Campaign:

Approximately 2827 vehicle is affected.

Order No. P-SC-2019070001
