Mercedes-Benz Poised To Recall Over 19,000 EQCs Globally

 


This isn’t the first time the EQC has been recalled since it hit the market. In November 2020, the SUV was involved in a recall also related to a damaged wiring harness that could cause the power steering system to fail and also potentially trigger a fire.

Mercedes-Benz first introduced the EQC in the fall of 2018 and had intended on bringing it to the United States in early 2020. It would have undercut the Tesla Model X by approximately $17,000 but earlier this year, the automaker confirmed that the EQC’s U.S. launch had been delayed indefinitely. Instead, the first new all-electric model from Mercedes to land on U.S. shores is the EQS sedan, a luxurious alternative to the traditional S-Class.

Mercedes EQC models sold in other markets feature an 80 kWh battery pack and dual electric motors that produce 402 hp and 561 lb-ft (760 Nm) of torque.
