This literally happened to me for the first time last night. It never happened before. Very strange to all-of-a-sudden occur. I did update the map software last week but I wouldn't think that would have created an issue.

I asked my Canadian service manager about this recall and he said they already did this here last year. Not sure if that's for real or not.
Interestingly (and likely unrelated to this recall?), the Mercedes ME app just sent me a notification that my system had been remotely updated, but for the life of me I can't find any record in the app that tells me what was undertaken. That's happened a couple of times in the past couple of years.
