Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) recalls certain Mercedes-Benz model vehicles

05 May 2026

Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) is carrying out a voluntary recall on certain Mercedes-Benz G class model vehicles.

It is possible that the wheel bolts do not meet the requirements. In this case, while the vehicle is in operation the wheel bolts and subsequently the wheel assembly could become detached over the lifetime of the vehicle, which could lead to a loss of driving stability. This would increase the risk of an accident. 

There are 14 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 19 January 2024 to 25 August 2025.
