2019 MERCEDES-BENZ G 550 Recalls Canada & USA – Major League Recalls
2019 MERCEDES-BENZ G 550 Recalls — Canada & USA
Summary
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G 550 has 5 recalls, the most serious being a fuel tank that may not have been properly welded and can leak fuel, creating a fire risk if the leak reaches an ignition source.
The front door wiring harnesses may have been routed incorrectly, and repeated opening and closing can damage the wires inside. That damage can disable the side airbags, prevent the doors from automatically unlocking in a crash, or cut off the vehicle's location signal. On the door latch side, two separate concerns exist: the rear door latches can fail to fully engage, leaving a door that appears closed but can swing open while driving, and the child safety lock emblem on the rear doors may display the wrong status, potentially allowing a child to open a door unexpectedly. There is also a stability control concern where the electronic stability control system or anti-lock brakes can deactivate, reducing the vehicle's ability to maintain control during hard braking or cornering.
