The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4MATIC has two recalls, both affecting occupant protection in a crash: a passenger airbag that may not deploy properly and a rear seatbelt buckle that can come loose and fail to hold an occupant.
The airbag fabric may have been made incorrectly, which can prevent the bag from inflating as designed and leave the front passenger without cushioning in a collision. The rear seatbelt buckle can work loose, meaning the belt may not hold a rear occupant in place during a crash.
