Official summary

Mercedes-Benz AG, the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz, has determined that on certain MY 2024 C-Class, GLC, and S-Class (206, 223, 254 platform) vehicles, the electronic ignition lock control unit software does not meet current production specifications. Therefore, it is possible that the free access function (code 871) may not be available. MBUSA will conduct a service campaign. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the N73/3 electronic ignition lock 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.
