Mercedes-Benz recalls more than 58,000 luxury cars over electrical fault

Luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz has recalled more than 58,000 of its cars due to an electrical fault which may increase the risk of an accident.

The recall affects a range of cars manufactured from 2018 to 2026, including some AMG models, some of which can retail for about $190,000.

“This increases the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.
