"The current wheel bolts could 'allow a wheel to loosen or detach from the vehicle,' potentially affecting 3,734 models on the road."
"The electric G580's wheel bolts were 'not adapted to the increased vehicle mass and higher torque loads associated with the electric variant.'"
"Mercedes-Benz concluded in the report that it couldn't rule out the risk, even though the wheel bolt loosening was 'unlikely to occur under real-world operating scenarios.'"
"Owners have to bring their affected G580s to a Mercedes-Benz authorized dealer, who will replace the bolts for free."
Mercedes-Benz issued a recall for all 2025 G580 models equipped with EQ technology due to potential wheel bolt failures. The recall affects approximately 3,734 vehicles. The current wheel bolts are not suitable for the increased mass and torque of the electric variant. An analysis revealed that these bolts could loosen during rough driving. Owners must visit authorized dealers for free replacements. Notifications will be sent starting in late May. This recall follows a previous one for other EV models in 2021.
