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.

Prior to performing this Campaign:

  • VMI must be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the campaign is required on a specific vehicle. Always check for any other open campaigns and perform accordingly.
  • Please review the entire Campaign bulletin and follow the repair procedure exactly as described.

Approximately 22,775 vehicles are affected.

Order No. P-SC-2024090007

  • Follow the operation steps exactly as described in XENTRY Diagnosis.
  • Use a charger to ensure sufficient power supply to the vehicle's on-board electrical system battery  (greater than 12.5 V).
  • If XENTRY Diagnosis is already connected to the vehicle, start with Work Procedure Step   2 . 

If two or more software updates or SCN codings are performed during a single workshop visit, operation items 02-4762 and 02-5058  may be invoiced only on one of the workshop orders.
