Issue:
On certain vehicles, if the hazard lights are switched on while the ignition is off, the lights on some interior switches may not work. When the ignition and lights are turned on, the lights on the switches may stay off. Canadian regulations require certain switches to light up when the ignition is on and the lights are switched on.
Note: If the hazard lights are switched off, then the ignition is cycled to off - and back on again - the switch lights should work properly.
Additional note: This is an expansion of Mercedes-Benz recall 5493102 (Transport Canada Recall No. 2020-062).Safety Risk:
While there is a low risk to safety, lighting of important switches is required by Canadian regulations.Corrective Actions:
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the instrument cluster software.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Mercedes-Benz: 477 in the register, and 637 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2022.
