Mercedes-Benz X118 CLA-Class Shooting Brake: eCall software
In November 2020, recall campaign RC2826/RC2826A was issued for Mercedes-AMG C118 CLA-Class vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 3 April 2019 to 1 September 2020. In these vehicles, the software of the communication module for the emergency call system (‘eCall’) may have been incorrectly programmed. In the event of an emergency, it would not be possible for vehicle occupants to contact emergency services, either manually or automatically. To fix, the software was to be updated ‘over the air’ (OTA), such that there was no need to visit a dealership; owners would automatically receive a software update unless they objected to it. If owners did object, they would need to visit a dealership for a manual update instead. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18593.
