The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a fire risk from an overheating 48-volt ground connection located under the passenger seat, and a fuel pump that can shut down without warning and cut drive power while moving.
On the control side, the accelerator pedal module bracket may break or detach, leaving the driver without a functioning accelerator and raising the risk of a crash or injury. Vehicles equipped with the M254 engine have an additional concern: screws on the high-pressure fuel pump may not form an adequate seal with the adjoining oil pump, allowing fuel and oil to leak onto the road and creating a hazard for other drivers. These last two recalls affect only certain trim and engine configurations within the GLE 450 lineup, so checking your specific VIN against each recall is the most reliable way to confirm whether your vehicle is involved.
