Official summary

Mercedes-Benz AG (?MBAG?), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz, has determined that on certain Model Year (?MY?) 2017-2018 E-Class (213, and 238 platform) vehicles, the supplemental restraint system (?SRS?) control unit software does not correspond to the current production specifications. In this case, some event data recorder (?EDR?) data might not be recorded correctly. No other functions of the SRS control unit are affected. What We?re Doing MBUSA will conduct a Service Campaign. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the SRS control unit software.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
