2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 450 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 has two recalls of equal concern: a loose 12-volt ground connection under the driver's seat that can overheat and start a fire, and a transmission that can fail to fully downshift and stall the engine. The stalling issue occurs under certain driving conditions and can cause an unexpected loss of power, raising the risk of a crash. The electrical ground connection problem is separate: if the connection under the driver's seat is not properly secured, it generates excess heat that can lead to a fire in the vehicle.
