2018–2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43, 2018–2019 Mercedes-Benz C 300 Recall: Mounting bracket for the 12-volt battery may not be secured
NHTSA campaign 19V586000 · Electrical System · filed Aug 9, 2019 · verified Jul 30, 2026
The defect
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2018-2019 C300, C300 4MATIC, and C43 AMG 4MATIC vehicles. The mounting bracket for the 12-volt battery may not be secured. This may allow the battery to shift, possibly disconnecting the terminals in the event of a crash.
The risk
Loss of power from the battery can impair post-crash functions, such as communicating with emergency services and activating hazard lights. The battery may also detach and become a road hazard. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of injury.
