Mercedes-Benz EQE and EQS recalled

Mercedes-Benz is recalling more than 1400 examples of its EQE and EQS electric vehicles (EVs) as they could lose power while driving.

“As a result, the vehicle may experience a loss of propulsion whilst driving.

“A loss of propulsion whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
