2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 has 17 recalls, the most serious involving three separate fire or crash risks: a fuel filler pipe that can leak fuel near ignition sources, a rear crossmember that can crack and detach while towing, and a driveshaft locking ring that can disconnect and cause the vehicle to stall. Several recalls affect safety systems and restraints. The passenger airbag can deploy late or incompletely in high cabin temperatures, and a loose dashboard surface can interfere with airbag inflation in a crash. Wiring under electrically adjustable second-row seats can get pinched during adjustment and prevent rear side airbags from deploying. The center rear seatbelt buckle can slip into the gap below the seat cushion and become unreachable, leaving that seating position without a working belt. One recall covers a driver's seat that may have a missing or failed mounting bolt, allowing the seat to shift in a crash. On the electrical and steering side, a wiring harness near the engine compartment fuse box can come loose and knock out power steering assist, headlights, or wipers. Electronic stability control software can pull the vehicle sharply to one side during hard evasive maneuvers. Incorrectly installed air conditioner drain hoses allow water to pool in the foot wells, which can corrode or short-circuit electrical components and raise the risk of fire. A floor weld defect can let water into the cabin with similar electrical consequences. The left reverse light can stay lit after shifting out of reverse, confusing other drivers. Interior
