I was supposed to pick up a 2019 S560V4 on July 31, 2019, and was told 2 days before a "stop sale/recall" was in effect for the active brake control. According to NHTSA.gov website, the recall will not have a fix released until med-September. What will happen to the value of this vehicle when the 2020 W222 is released?

If I am reading the recall notices correctly, there is only 107 vehicles affected for the 2019 S560 4matic. So yours is one of the 107 affected? There should only be a stop sale on the 107 affected and not the entire inventory of the 2019 S560 4matic cars. But I could be wrong. Federal law stop sale only applies to affected vehicles.
