4 recalls across 2 model years
The Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe has 4 recalls covering the 2016 and 2018 model years, with the most serious affecting 2016 vehicles where rear drive shaft bolts can loosen over time and allow the drive shaft to separate from the transmission, causing a sudden loss of drive power.
The 2018 model year has a rear brake system issue where gas bubbles can form in the brake fluid, producing a soft or spongy pedal feel and reducing braking ability. On 2016 models, the rear head restraints can fail to stay locked upright when temperatures drop to -20°C or below, leaving occupants without proper neck support in a crash. There is also a 2016 structural issue where excess insulation material in the bulkhead can extend into the lower windshield area, which can interfere with the airbag system's ability to protect occupants in a frontal collision.
