The 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE63 has 5 recalls, the most serious being a roof panel that can detach from the vehicle while driving and become a hazard for other traffic, and a fuel pump control unit that can fail and stall the engine.
The roof panel issue has two related recalls. The adhesive bonding on the front panel, the section between the windshield and the panoramic sunroof, can deteriorate and allow the panel to separate from the vehicle at speed. A prior repair attempt to address this bonding problem may not have been completed correctly, meaning vehicles that were already serviced for this issue could still have a loose panel. On the fuel system side, water can collect in the spare tire well and damage the fuel pump control module, cutting engine power without warning while the vehicle is moving. The brake recall covers reduced hydraulic braking performance, meaning the vehicle takes longer to stop than expected and the driver may not be able to avoid a collision. There is also a recall for the automatic crash notification system, which can fail to transmit the correct location to emergency responders after a collision, potentially delaying medical assistance reaching the scene.
