Having reached the end of their research, the German automaker estimates that it will be until July before they are fully ready to tackle the problem.

Although no specific conditions are defined as obvious triggers, certain conditions at runtime are known to disrupt the processes performed by the system.

Despite this, Mercedes has received 96 reports that may be related to this issue, although none have resulted in an accident or injury.

Beginning July 18, Mercedes will contact affected vehicle owners and ask them to visit an authorized dealer to have the software update installed by Mercedes-trained technicians.
