The company notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the issue in a voluntary recall.
Mercedes-Benz said the issue affects 227 vehicles with an active and connected “Mercedes me” account – specifically brand-new EQS and S-Class models – according to documents posted Friday on the NHTSA website.
