Mercedes Smart Fortwo Lawsuit

What’s the Problem?

According to a recall notice by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a welded joint within the high-voltage battery main cell conductors on affected Mercedes Smart Fortwo cars may detach and interrupt electrical contact, resulting in sudden battery failure.

The detached weld may also cause an electrical arc which can ignite inside the battery
cells, NHTSA said. If the high-voltage battery fails, the vehicle may stall, increasing the risk of a crash. An electrical arc inside the battery could also increase the risk of a fire.

Mercedes-Benz is notifying owners and dealers will replace the high-voltage battery, free of charge. This recall began on April 24, 2020.
