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 axle bolts on 2015–2016 vehicles that can fracture and destabilize the vehicle, reducing handling and raising the risk of a crash.
A separate suspension-related recall affects all 2013–2016 model years, where an oil leak from the front suspension can reach an ignition source and start a fire. On 2016 models, water can enter the electric power steering control unit and cut off steering assist, making the vehicle significantly harder to steer. Across the full 2013–2016 range, a software fault in the emergency call system can cause it to report an incorrect date, time, and vehicle location, which can delay emergency responders after a crash.
