As AMSA we are responsible for vehicle categories M, N and O, which includes passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, buses and trailers.
Vehicle safety recalls
If a vehicle safety defect is found anywhere in Europe, we are alerted through RAPEX, the EU vehicle recall portal, and in turn notify the Irish public by publishing the defect on our vehicle recall section below.
A vehicle recall occurs when a manufacturer identifies a fault relating to a particular component(s) that poses a serious risk to road safety, public health or the environment and recalls the vehicle to repair the issue.
The vehicle manufacturer must contact the owner directly to notify them of the following:
- why the vehicle is being recalled
- what you should do next
- who you should contact.
The information below outlines vehicle recalls from January 2021 for vehicle categories M, N and O.

Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) recalls certain AMG GT, CLS, EQC, GLC, E-Class, G-Class and S-Class passenger vehicles
September 24, 2021
Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) is carrying out a voluntary recall on certain Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, CLS, EQC, GLC, E-Class, G-Class and S-Class passenger vehicles.
A safety issue has been identified whereby in certain vehicles the electrical connector of the side-impact sensors might not be latched in accordance with the specifications. In this case, it cannot be entirely excluded that the connector of a side-impact sensor could become detached over the lifetime of the vehicle. In the event of a side impact, this would lead to delayed activation of the restraint systems, thereby reducing the restraining effect. In this case, there would be a higher risk of injury to occupants.
There are 10 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 31 July 2020 to 11 November 2020.

There is 1 vehicle affected in the Republic of Ireland that was produced between 1 April 2019 to 10 May 2019.
Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) recalls certain EQC passenger vehicles
July 6, 2021
Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) is carrying out a voluntary recall on certain Mercedes-Benz EQC passenger vehicles.
A safety issue has been identified whereby in certain vehicles corrosion protection on the high voltage battery housing around the connections cannot be guaranteed to last for the whole lifetime of the vehicle. After the vehicle has been in use for a longer period of time, the high voltage battery housing could therefore corrode under certain specific environmental conditions. The sealing effect of the battery housing could then gradually be compromised, allowing moisture to penetrate the battery. This could lead to isolation failure, resulting in it being impossible to restart the vehicle once the engine has been switched off. In addition, if these circumstances were to arise, the risk of fire cannot be completely excluded.
There are 4 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 22 February 2019 to 28 November 2019.

A safety issue has been identified whereby a bore hole in the universal joint on the steering shaft may not meet the specifications. In this case, there could be play between the bearing fitted into the bore hole and the universal joint. Over time, this play could increase, resulting in noises and an unresponsive steering feel. In the event of the symptoms not being detected for a lengthy period of time, the bearing could become detached from the universal joint. The vehicle’s steerability would then be impaired, which could increase the risk of accidents.

A safety issue has been identified whereby that in certain vehicles the emergency call system may not behave in accordance with the specifications. A temporary fall in the on-board voltage levels resulting from an accident could mean that the location of the vehicle communicated when an emergency call is made does not correspond to the actual location of the vehicle. This could delay the arrival of emergency vehicles, thus potentially increasing the effects of the accident.
In relation to the above recall, vehicles affected by this will be processed by way of automated ‘over the air’ software update. Customers are not required to visit workshops as this update will be performed automatically.

Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) recalls certain GLE and GLS passenger vehicles
May 26, 2021
Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) is carrying out a voluntary recall on a number of their passenger vehicles models, including the following: GLE and GLS.
A safety issue has been identified whereby in certain vehicles of its GLE and GLS series (BR 167), the condensed water drainage hose of the air-conditioning system may not be properly fitted. In this case condensed water from the air conditioning system could enter the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Condensed water would enter in the left or right foot well and could cause corrosion in the electrical components installed there and/or lead to short-circuits or leakage currents. This would increase the risk of fire from short circuits. Furthermore, the automatic emergency call (eCall) could fail, the vehicle could fail to unlock and/or start, and the engine emergency run could also be activated in an on-road vehicle. This would increase the risk of injury and accident.

In the event of an accident, the inerting system would deliberately route argon shielding gas for cooling to the points where there could be contact between the leaking refrigerant R1234yf and hot engine components. The risk of fire in the event of an accident might thus not be reduced as intended.

Frequently asked questions
This content is for general information only. It does not, and is not intended to, provide legal or technical advice or to represent a legal interpretation of the matters it addresses.
In addition to the tests for approval, there are many more tests carried out on a vehicle during its design and production.
These are carried out by the vehicle manufacturer. Extensive testing ensures that a vehicle will meet legal requirements and also perform adequately during its useful life.
While a vehicle component may have passed tests to ensure that it performs adequately during its life, it may still fail during use. This is because vehicle testing has difficulty in replicating exactly how a component will behave after many hours of driving or under unexpected or unlikely circumstances.
The recall system ensures that problems encountered during driving are acted on by the manufacturer.
If you are concerned that your vehicle was subject to a recall and you missed it, you should contact the manufacturer or authorised distributor.
In the case of a second-hand vehicle which was subject to a recall, the previous owner may have had the vehicle checked. Documentation showing this should be with the owner’s manual or vehicle documentation in the storage compartment. You can also check with the authorised distributor quoting the vehicle identification number (VIN).
