Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 10 / Thursday, January 16, 2025 / Notices
Thus, the scope of ODI’s review was
directed to those GLC300 vehicles.
NHTSA has based its decision on a
review of the material cited by the
Petitioner in his petition, information
submitted by Mercedes-Benz in
response to an Agency request, and
other pertinent information in NHTSA’s
databases.
Summary of the Petition
The Petitioner alleged that Model
Year (MY) 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC300
vehicles equipped with the 48-volt ISG
system can experience a failure
resulting in the illumination of warning
lights and an inability to start a vehicle.
The Petitioner enclosed the following
information with the petition:
• A description of the check engine
light illuminating;
• A description of communications
with a dealership about illumination of
the check engine light;
• Copies of select Mercedes-Benz
Service Campaign Bulletins;
• A listing of Mercedes-Benz vehicles
that are covered under a recall for ISG–
48V system issues;
• Excerpts from internet consumer
chats that reported no-start conditions;
• A service invoice at a MercedesBenz dealership;
• Listings of Mercedes-Benz Xentry
system communications; and
• Listings of allegedly related NHTSA
recalls.

Office of Defects Investigation Analysis
ODI conducted the following actions
while evaluating the Petition:
• Examined the Petition and its
enclosures;
• Reviewed the Petitioner’s vehicle
history;
• Sent an Information Request letter
to Mercedes-Benz and reviewed
Mercedes-Benz’s response to that letter;
and
• Searched for similar complaint
traffic in NHTSA’s consumer
complaints database.
In its August 24, 2023 response to
NHTSA’s Information Request letter,
Mercedes-Benz stated that:
• The cause of the condition reported
by the Petitioner was a software
deviation in the Central Powertrain
Controller (CPC);
• The CPC is separate from and
independent of the 48V mild hybrid ISG
system;
• The CPC condition in question may
cause intermittent no-start conditions;
and
• Mercedes-Benz has an active
software campaign to correct the CPC
software deviation.

ODI conducted a search of NHTSA’s
consumer complaint database and did
not find support for a related stalling
trend in the subject vehicles.
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Based on available information, it
appears that the defect alleged by the
Petitioner may be caused by a software
error in the CPC software, which is a
system separate and independent from
the 48-volt system.
Hazardous Materials: Notice of
Applications for Modification to
Special Permits
ODI concentrated its evaluation on
conditions that could lead to a loss of
motive power during a drive cycle, and
the CPC condition only takes place
during a vehicle’s startup. Based on this
distinction, coupled with the absence of
a loss of motive power while driving in
the Petitioner’s vehicle, and an absence
of other applicable loss of motive power
allegations in the subject vehicle
population in general, ODI finds no
basis on which to open a related safety
defect investigation at this time.
Mercedes-Benz has an ongoing service
campaign to resolve the CPC software
error, which caused the illumination of
the engine lights and the no-start
condition.
After thoroughly assessing the
material submitted by the Petitioner,
information in NHTSA’s databases, and
information submitted by MercedesBenz in response to an ODI Information
Request regarding the Petitioner’s
allegations, and in consideration of the
action Mercedes-Benz is taking to
address the software issue, NHTSA does
not find that a formal investigation is
warranted at this time. Accordingly, the
Agency is denying the petition. As with
all potential motor vehicle safety risks,
NHTSA will continue to review any
new information or incidents as they are
submitted to the Agency.
