Transport Canada Recall - 2016300 - MERCEDES-BENZ
Brand(s)
Summary
Please see corrective actions section below
Affected products
2016 | MERCEDES-BENZ | GLE CLASS
Issue
On certain AMG model vehicles, there could be an issue within the software of the engine control unit (ECU) which could cause an engine shut-down just before a vehicle stop. If this were to occur, the driver might mistakenly interpret the engine shut-down as a planned shut-down as part of the ECO start/stop system. However, the engine will not restart automatically after releasing the brake pedal, and would needed to be restarted manually. Depending on traffic conditions and the driver’s reactions, an unintentional engine shut-down could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will update the ECU software.
