2016 Mercedes-Benz Amg Gle63 Recalls & Complaints

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE63 has 8 recalls, the most serious including a rear driveshaft that can separate from the transmission or rear axle differential, causing the vehicle to stall and lose drive power.

A leaking front suspension component can drip oil onto a hot surface and start a fire, and a fuel pump control unit exposed to water pooling in the spare tire well can also cause the engine to stall while driving. On the structural side, adhesive bonding on the front roof panel can deteriorate, allowing the panel to detach from the vehicle and become a hazard on the road. Two separate recalls affect the front passenger airbag: one involves the passenger seat occupant classification sensor, which can misread the occupant and prevent the airbag from deploying in a crash, and another involves the airbag inflator itself failing to function as designed. Water can also infiltrate the electric power steering control unit and knock out steering assist, leaving the driver with significantly heavier steering. The final recall covers a software fault in the emergency call system that can report an incorrect vehicle location to first responders after a crash.
