From MBUSA: Recall campaign 201500005 with stop-sale order
"Effective immediately, a stop sale is required for Model Years 2014-2015 BED vehicles with the attached VINs. The affected new vehicles that are in dealer inventory must be held, and not retailed, until further instructions are provided. DAG has decided that on approximately 2,618 BED vehicles, the powertrain gateway control unit might send an incorrect signal for a very short duration regarding the status of the high voltage contactor. Should this occur, the vehicle would react to this signal by immediately powering down the powertrain unit. As a consequence, the propulsion power would be lost, temporarily immobilizing the vehicle.
"The recall will be conducted by an authorized MB dealer to update the gateway software on the affected vehicles. MBUSA notified the NHTSA on October 9, 2015 of this new recall, which may generate questions from your customers. There are no parts needed. This recall is scheduled to launch in late November 2015, once the software becomes available. Customer letter notifications will be mailed approximately one week after the recall launch."
Our two MBEDs were in for their battery certification last week, and got the following software update:
Campaign 2015070002: Update Powertrain Control Module, Powertrain Gateway and Air Conditioning Control Module Software.
Hopefully, this is the recall software, and we will not have to go back in.
I hope the a/c update fixes the issue where the cold a/c blows on the windshield, causing it to fog up on hot humid days.
