The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the electrical system software. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected vehicles, due to a software error within the engine control unit, the vehicle may stall when coasting to a stop, such as at a traffic light.
The vehicle stall may be interpreted by the driver to be a planned shut-down as part of the ECO-Start-function. However, the engine will not restart automatically after releasing the brake pedal, immobilizing the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners, and dealers will update the engine control unit software, free of charge.
