(Reuters) - Mercedez-Benz USA is recalling more than 27,000 vehicles due to a potential risk of the engine control unit (ECU) software causing the engine to overheat or stall, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.

An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash and an overheated engine can increase the risk of a fire, the auto safety regulator said.

Dealers will update the ECU software free of charge after the respective owners are notified.
