From NHTSA website:

May 01,2026
Manufacturer Recall Number2026050003
NHTSA Recall Number26V281
Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet availableSummaryMercedes-Benz AG ("MBAG"), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain Model Year ("MY") 2024-2026 AMG GT (192 platform), C-Class (206 platform), E-Class (214 platform), SL (232 platform), CLE (236 platform) and GLC (254 platform) vehicles, the software of the infotainment control unit might trigger an increased number of system resets as part of an intended fallback behavior.

 

I just saw this today as well.

I wonder if the dealerships will contact us?

i have not experienced any such problem with my 2025 CLE AMG 53.

 

Thanks for the info. My wife's 2025 Genesis G80 had the same recall for software timing issue causing a screen reboot. We never experienced it.....

NHTSA showing that 100 percent of the identified MB cars are expected to be affected. Really 100% wow.... Let's see if anyone on this board ever sees this issue....

 

I had a 2024 CLE 300 cabriolet that the screens going blank occurred multiple times ( vehicle was eventually replaced by MB with a 2025 model) The screens going blank recently occurred after 8,000 mile on my 2025 CLE and the dealer “updated” the software.

 

With my previous sedans (non MB), the recall documents originated from the Mfg.via USPO mail, not the dealer..
Now in the days OTA, etc. who knows? I do see the recall notice on the NHTSA site.
My screen did shut down a year or so ago and a software update (it was at the shop 9 days) took care of that problem and it has never returned (so far).

Wow 9 days in the shop for a sw update. I'd be pissed.... Thanks.

 

Bring back analog. Enough already

 

It has happened once on my CLE 53. No screens whatsoever, including head-up display. Literally driving blind/no info. Tried a few vehicle and system restarts, etc. before I headed home to no avail. After about a half hour of the system resetting once every minute or so, everything magically came back on. Both screens, head up display. Car ran perfect the whole time. The vehicle dynamics wheels on the steering wheel still did their thing, exterior turn signals worked but w/no indication/clicks inside.

I resorted to Waze on my phone to monitor speed. That was a fun drive...

 

Took my car in for the recall - service advisor said to expect them to have a fix around late July. FYI...

 

No issues here for my 2026, but my neighbor had issues on his 2025, and the dealer was able to do a manual reset, and all is ok.

 

I'm due for 1 year service in mid June. I'll let them check at that time.

 

good luck

 

Yesterday, my car (March 2025 build with 8,000 miles) screen went black for a second, and when it came back I had lost all my nav settings including destinations. It persisted for a couple of trips that day, but fortunately they all came back this morning. So, it's apparently a graceful failure mode.
