Mercedes-Benz EQB 300 4MATIC Recall 25V894: EV Battery May Fail Internally and Cause a Fire

What this recall means for you

The high-voltage traction battery in certain EQB electric vehicles may fail internally. That failure can lead to a vehicle fire, whether the car is parked or being driven. A fire can increase the risk of injury.

Until the repair is done, owners should charge their vehicle to no more than 80% battery capacity. Vehicles that were previously repaired under an earlier recall (25V050) will need to be repaired again. Dealers will update the battery management system software at no cost to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed February 6, 2026. For questions, contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372, referencing recall number 2025120005.

If you own an affected vehicle, check your VIN for open recalls on NHTSA.gov, and contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer to schedule the free repair. Follow the 80% charging limit in the meantime.
