Mercedes-Benz recalls some G-Wagon EVs due to risk of wheels falling off

Mercedes-Benz is recalling all 2025 G580 models with EQ technology due to wheel bolts that could loosen or detach.

The NHTSA reports 3,734 affected vehicles are on the road.

The electric G580 used the same wheel assembly and bolts as other G-Class models, which weren't adapted for higher EV mass and torque.

A recall analysis from September 2024 to January 2025 found bolts can loosen after rough driving or wheel changes.

Owners will receive mail notices starting in late May and can get the bolts replaced free at authorized dealers.
