Thx they do make running changes - hoping the 25's have been updated.

On a side note, t's very helpful for all to include production dates (located drv's lower door jamb) when posting about these kinds of things so we can see when they begin/end.

Interesting I know remember it was an odd initial launch of just a few months then the switch, when did they switch over-Sept? Ours was a late oct build and a 25.

Good let's hope it stays that way.

For those that have the issue when did it manifest?

Is there a dedicated TSB/fix?

The clicking persists in my car and it is annoying. I cringe whenever I hear it. I have been avoiding taking it in because I have been so busy but will make an appointment next week. I'll post an update once it gets worked on. like @Pwrks111 my brakes squeak loudly at low speeds too.

Just wanted to chime in and say im having the same noise on my CLE 2024. Just got it in November. I have already been to the service center 2 different times, not for this but other weird issues that seem to have been fixed. Gonna wait till there is a more solid solution on here until I take her in again. It was in the shop with only 300 miles on it for a random screen CEL, and the screens froze and wouldn't turn on. Staying tuned for solutions, or a recall 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah that has been part of my reluctance to take the time of taking in. There does not seem to be a solid solution or acknowledgement by MB yet. The dealerships have not worked on enough of this new car to know what is up. Surely MB is aware of this.

yeah dude. For my other issue, they almost had it for 1 week, not because of how big the issue was, but how busy they were. All before my first lease payment. I def don't wanna part with her again, as long as its not serious. I came from a lemon car into this one. Praying for no more concerns! Lol.

Yeah I have posted on Twitter/X about it. Let's see if @mercedesbenzusa responds. Sometimes public tweets get their attention.

Social media (apparently) won't do much but better than nothing.

The only time I hear that noise is when the parking break disengages. I wonder if something is not tight or the design of the system something is free floating when not engaged.

I hear it most prominently reversing after a cold start. But I also hear it in regular driving.
There were some others posting here who stopped so presumably they got it sorted out. I would just love to know what fix the dealer employed that got it done.

It was mentioned that they needed to replace hardware (fasteners) in the rear hub assembly and use a different lubrication strategy. If they havent figured it out, ask the dealer to contact mercedes west chester and reference my fix.

Here are the notes, part numbers included. :
