2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 450 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a transmission software issue that can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving, raising the risk of a crash. On the structural and safety side, one vehicle was built with a windshield that was not properly bonded to the body; if it separates in a crash, it can reduce the protection the passenger-side front airbag provides. There is also a suspension concern where the front struts and rear shock absorbers can leak and wear out prematurely, reducing handling and control. One additional recall covers a third-row headrest built with insufficient padding and a securing rod that may not hold the headrest in position, leaving rear occupants with reduced protection in a crash.
