4 recalls across 4 model years
The Mercedes-Benz GL63 has 4 recalls covering 2013-2016 model years, with the most serious being improperly assembled front and/or rear axle bolts on 2015-2016 vehicles that can fracture, destabilize the vehicle, and sharply reduce the driver's ability to control it.
On 2013-2016 models, a front suspension component leaks oil that can reach an ignition source and start a fire. The 2016 model year has an electric power steering control unit that allows water intrusion, which can cut power steering assist entirely and leave the driver with significantly heavier steering effort. Across 2013-2016 models, a software fault in the emergency call system can cause the vehicle to report an incorrect date, time, and location to emergency responders during a crash, potentially delaying the response.
