Reason for the recall
Mercedes-Benz cars that have activated and connected to the Mercedes me account will automatically obtain updates on the configuration of the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system from the background server on a regular basis.

When starting to drive a vehicle or when the occupant actively chooses such a function or application, it is impossible to rule out that the driver is distracted by the driving process and there is a safety hazard.
Workaround
Mercedes-Benz (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and Beijing Benz Automobile Co., Ltd. will update the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system configuration for vehicles within the scope of the recall free of charge through vehicle remote upgrade (OTA) technology (users do not need to go to the store) to eliminate safety hazards.
