2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 has 10 recalls, the most serious being a water intrusion problem where moisture enters the front footwells through the wheel wells, potentially causing the instrument cluster to go blank or the engine to stall while driving. On the airbag and restraint side, there are several concerns. The airbag control software may not properly trigger the front seatbelts or front passenger airbag in a crash. The front passenger airbag cushion can tear on deployment because the inflator and cushion are not correctly attached inside the module. The side curtain airbags may not deploy as intended, and a window airbag in the A-pillar area may not be mounted correctly, allowing its catch strap to disconnect in a crash and reduce ejection protection. There are also two body-related hazards: the rear spoiler may not be fully welded and can shed pieces onto the road, and front fender wheel arch covers can detach and create a road hazard. The second-row seat may not align correctly in its track and can fail to lock in place, which raises the risk of injury to rear passengers in a crash. The second-row accessory power outlet may carry excessive voltage due to a wrong converter socket, raising the risk of fire in connected devices.
