Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling six model year 2021 E350, E450, E450 Wagon and AMG E63 vehicles.

The company stated the parking control unit may fail to display the rearview camera image and cause the parking sensors to misidentify or fail to detect objects.

An inoperative rearview camera display and/or parking sensors can reduce the driver’s view and awareness of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash, Mercedes-Benz USA said.

In regard to what to do in correcting the malfunction, Mercedes-Benz will notify affected owners, and dealers will replace the parking control unit free of charge.

The current recall is expected to begin May 31, 2021, and owners may contact MBUSA Customer Service on (800) 367-6372.
