The brands involved have
Mercedes-Benz, Dongfeng Yueda Kia
Mercedes-Benz (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and Beijing Benz Automobile Co., Ltd. recalled some imported S-class and domestically produced C-class vehicles
Effective immediately, the Company will recall 2,307 domestically produced C-Class (2,095 units) and imported S-Class vehicles (212 units) with production dates from August 31, 2020 to November 10, 2021.
Reason for the recall
Mercedes-Benz cars that have activated and connected to the Mercedes me account will automatically obtain updates on the configuration of the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system from the background server on a regular basis. Due to the deviation of the background server profile, as part of the regular communication between the vehicle and the vehicle background, the vehicles within the scope of this recall may have received incorrect profiles, resulting in some functions and applications (such as TVs, digital user manuals) on the host display of the vehicle MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system not being disabled as expected when the vehicle is driving. When starting to drive a vehicle or when the occupant actively chooses such a function or application, it is impossible to rule out that the driver is distracted by the driving process and there is a safety hazard.
Workaround
Mercedes-Benz (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and Beijing Benz Automobile Co., Ltd. will update the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system configuration for vehicles within the scope of the recall free of charge through vehicle remote upgrade (OTA) technology (users do not need to go to the store) to eliminate safety hazards.
