Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Recall 25V255: Wrong fuse box may cause sudden power or safety system loss

NHTSA campaign 25V255, reported May 12, 2025, 443 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

A repair made under an earlier Mercedes-Benz recall may have left some vehicles with an incorrect main fuse box, one not designed for the vehicle. This can cause a sudden loss of drive power or a loss of critical safety functions, such as the restraint systems (airbags) or the instrument cluster. Losing these functions can raise the risk of a crash or injury. There may also be an increased risk of fire.

If you own an affected vehicle, contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 and reference recall number 2025050003/4. Owner notification letters were mailed June 6, 2025. Authorized dealers will inspect and replace the main fuse box at no cost to you.

You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls on the NHTSA website to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
