Update Electronic Selector Module Software

This Service Campaign has been initiated because Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that the software in the control unit of the electronic selector lever module (ESM [EWM]) does not meet specifications. When the selector lever is in position P while the engine is at operating temperature, it might be possible for the selector lever to be blocked in position P. The selector lever cannot be moved out of P again until after a brief cool-down time. To correct this condition dealers will update the electronic selector lever module software at the next dealer visit.

Prior to performing this Service Campaign:

Please check VMI to determine if the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired.

Approximately 4,932 vehicles are affected.
