SUBJECT
Model CLS, E-Class, GLE, and AMG GT (257, 213, 238, 167 and 290 platforms) Model Year 2020 - 2023
Mercedes-Benz AG, the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain MY 2020-2023 CLS (257 platform), E-Class (213 and 238 platform), GLE (167 platform), and AMG GT 4-Door (290 platform) vehicles, the engine control unit software does not correspond to current production specifications. As a consequence, the post-catalyst oxygen sensor may experience increased thermal load impairing functionality. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the engine control unit software in affected vehicles.
