Mercedes-Benz is taking significant action this year by issuing its third recall due to a potential fire risk. The luxury carmaker has recalled the EQS sedan, GLC, AMG SL 55, and S-Class models as part of their ongoing commitment to safety. This marks the sixth voluntary recall from Mercedes in 2023, impacting around 30 units according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). Alarmingly, nearly 93,000 Mercedes vehicles have also been recalled in the US this week alone. The issue centers on the fuse box in these models, which poses not only a fire hazard but also an increased risk of crashes and injuries. It’s crucial for all owners of these vehicles to take this matter seriously and respond promptly to ensure their safety and that of others on the road.
Mercedes June 2025 recall in India details
A serious safety concern has been identified affecting 16 EQS sedans and 9 S-Class vehicles, including the prestigious Maybach. The issue arises from improperly reworked fuse boxes, which could lead to the failure of crucial systems connected to those fuses. This failure poses a significant risk: vehicles may suddenly lose propulsion without any warning, while vital functions like restraint systems and instrument clusters might also malfunction, substantially increasing the chances of crashes and injuries.
Moreover, in these circumstances, there’s an undeniable potential for a thermal incident within the vehicle—a risk that should not be taken lightly. The recall listing on SIAM’s website clearly highlights this issue. In total, besides the EQS and S-Class models at risk, three GLCs and two AMG SLs are also affected.
Mercedes takes these matters seriously and will proactively reach out to owners of all affected vehicles to arrange complimentary repairs. It’s crucial for anyone with one of these vehicles to stay informed about this recall for their safety on the road. Don’t wait; ensure your vehicle is checked as soon as possible.

Past recalls in 2025
There’s a pressing concern regarding calls made over potential fire risks and a software glitch in the ECU. Notably, recalls from March 12 and 29 also addressed similar fire risks. Additionally, there are recalls related to issues such as a malfunctioning ECU software and the absence of a crucial warning label for the automatic front passenger airbag shutoff. The fact that we’re seeing such an unusually high volume of recalls this early in the year is particularly alarming for a luxury brand like Mercedes-Benz, which typically prides itself on quality and reliability. This trend demands immediate attention and action to ensure customer safety and maintain brand integrity.
