Mercedes-Benz USA has announced a recall campaign for certain examples of the 2025 Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid sedan, citing a technical issue involving an incorrectly positioned transmission wiring harness.In this case, the harness runs close to the front driveshaft, which brings a risk of unintended contact between the two. Such contact could cause the engine to produce less than its rated power, compromising safe operation and creating a potential hazard for occupants. Packaging around driveline components demands precision; when routing falls short, even small interference can have outsized consequences.The issue was identified by the automaker’s engineers after three owner complaints were received from outside the United States. The company says written notifications will be mailed to all affected owners no later than February 9, 2026.
