Mercedes-Benz is recalling 11,895 vehicles in the U.S. over high-voltage batteries that can fail internally and pose a fire risk while parked or driving, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Thursday.

Vehicle owners are being told to park outside, limit charging and seek a free battery replacement, the NHTSA notice said.
