Updated July 24, 2026
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2019 to 2026 models because a micro-switch in the driver's door lock can corrode and fail to detect an open door. When that happens, the electronic parking brake or "Auto-Park" feature may not engage automatically, and the vehicle can roll away on its own.
