Mercedes-Benz (MBUSA) is recalling 52 model year 2015 S550 Hybrids manufactured April 24, 2015, to June 12, 2015.
The recalled vehicles are equipped with a high voltage onboard charger that may not have been built to specification, and as a result, the charging function for an external charging cable might not function and the onboard charger may incorrectly detect a charging cable, even while the vehicle is being driven.
If the charging cable is incorrectly detected and the vehicle is stopped or moving at a very slow speed, the vehicle may unexpectedly shift to park, increasing the risk of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the onboard charger, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early January 2016.
Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
