The 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL350 has two recalls, the more serious being a front suspension oil leak that can ignite if the leaking fluid contacts an ignition source, raising the risk of a vehicle fire.
The second recall involves a software fault in the emergency call system where the system's internal clock can fall out of sync with the actual date and time. If the system activates during a crash, it may transmit an inaccurate vehicle location to emergency responders, potentially delaying their arrival.
