The 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE53 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving an accelerator pedal bracket that can break or detach, and a 48-volt electrical ground connection under the passenger seat that can overheat and start a fire.
The accelerator pedal bracket may have an inadequate weld that causes it to crack or pull free, leaving the driver unable to control throttle input. The wiring concern involves a ground connection that was not properly secured and can generate enough heat to ignite surrounding materials. There is also a fuel pump recall: the pump can shut down without warning while driving, cutting power to the engine and leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate or maintain speed.
