2022 E53 battery and air bag light

Good day

2022 E53, 9200miles and have had the red battery light saying Malfunction service required, and an airbag light came on at the same time. Battery light seemed to come on when it was on warmer days or parked outside of the parking garage at work.
Is this related to the 12v or 48v battery?
the MB dealer that it is at is saying a fuse block but seems more like an aged battery being over 4+ years old.
has anyone run into this before?
I have the Auto Nation 90day 4000mile warranty and extended warranty as I just purchased the car Feb 13 this year.


thanks for any input.

Let the dealer sort it under warranty. Likely the 48V battery or a known fuse block issue. Either way, not your problem yet.

Is there a bulletin or some info you can share on the fuse block?
