7 recalls across 3 model years
The Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 has 7 recalls covering 2017-2019 model years, with the most serious being water intrusion into the spare tire well that can damage the fuel pump control unit and stall the engine while driving on 2018-2019 models. A separate 2018-only issue affects vehicles equipped with Continental tires, where the tire sidewall can crack or the tread belt can separate, causing sudden air loss while driving.
The 2019 model year has multiple recalls related to the automatic emergency call system, where the system can fail to connect to emergency services or transmit the wrong location after a crash, potentially delaying first responders. The same eCall concern extends to 2018 models as well.
The 2017 model year has two recalls of its own. On vehicles manufactured in a narrow window in late 2015, the low-beam headlights may be aimed incorrectly from the factory, reducing the driver's forward visibility at night. There is also a center console latch that can release in a crash, allowing loose items inside to become projectiles in the cabin.
