Mercedes-Benz EQE Recalls (2023-2025)
The Mercedes-Benz EQE has been the subject of 10 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2023 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, steering, and back over prevention.
The Mercedes-Benz EQE scores 10 out of 100 (grade F), one of the heavier recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 90% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 100% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 10 campaigns span 3 model years of the Mercedes-Benz EQE. The single largest affected 31,848 vehicles, over electrical system. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common EQE problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Mercedes-Benz EQE may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
