The 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a stability control malfunction that can prevent the engine from reducing power when adaptive cruise control is engaged, requiring extra braking effort to stop the vehicle.
The second recall also affects braking: a vacuum hose feeding the brake booster can collapse, making the brake pedal significantly harder to press and increasing stopping distances. Both brake-related issues point to the same real-world result, a vehicle that takes longer to stop than expected. The third recall involves the automatic emergency call system, which can send incorrect location data after a crash, potentially directing emergency responders to the wrong place.
