The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 4MATIC has 3 recalls, all involving occupant safety systems: the front passenger airbag may not deploy correctly in a crash, and two separate seatbelt issues can leave rear passengers without adequate restraint.
On the airbag side, the passenger-side cushion fabric may be incorrectly manufactured, preventing the bag from inflating as intended and reducing crash protection for the front passenger. For rear seating, the center rear seatbelt may be missing the child seat locking function, meaning a child safety seat cannot be properly secured and a child could move forward in a crash. A third recall covers the rear seatbelt buckle assembly, which can work loose and fail to hold an occupant during a collision. All three recalls affect occupants who depend on these systems most in a crash.
