MERCEDES-BENZ GL350 Recalls

The Mercedes-Benz GL350 has 4 recalls spanning the 2012 to 2017 model years, with the most serious being a front suspension oil leak on all 2012 to 2017 models that can expose leaking oil to an ignition source and start a fire. The 2016 to 2017 model years carry two additional concerns. A fault in the passenger seat occupant classification sensor can cause the front passenger airbag to not deploy properly in a crash, leaving the passenger without full airbag protection. Those same years also have a power steering control unit that can allow water intrusion and shut down the electric power steering assist, which makes the steering wheel significantly harder to turn and raises the risk of a crash. Going back to early production, certain 2013 models built between May and October of 2012 have second-row seat belt anchor bolts that may not have been tightened to the correct torque, allowing them to loosen over time and potentially fail to restrain a belted occupant in a crash.
