Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at MLIT, or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on.

What the ministry says is wrong

リアＳＡＭ（信号制御および作動モジュール）コントロールユニットにおいて、製造ツールの管理が不適切なため基板に軽微な損傷が生じているものがある。そのため、使用過程で生じる振動等で損傷が進むことで基板内に短絡が発生し、左後退灯が常時点灯し続けるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、リアＳＡＭコントロールユニットのプログラムを本不具合が生じた場合に、警告灯を点灯させるプログラムに書き換える。ただし、左後退灯が常時点灯している場合には、リアＳＡＭコンロールユニットを良品に交換する。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.

Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website （出典：国土交通省ウェブサイト）, used under the Public Data License 1.0. This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document.

The Japanese register on this site

メルセデス・ベンツ elsewhere in this register

メルセデス・ベンツ is named on 444 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 後退灯

19 notices in this register name 後退灯. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what MLIT published in the recall notices it publishes, 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 /japan, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Japanese recalls on a Mercedes-Benz: 450 in the register, and 371 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2024.
