The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GL350 has two recalls, the more serious being a passenger seat sensor that may misclassify the front passenger, causing the airbag to not deploy correctly in a crash and raising the risk of injury. The second recall involves the electric power steering system, where water can enter the steering control unit and shut off power assist entirely, making the steering wheel significantly harder to turn and raising the risk of a crash.
