2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE COUPE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe has 3 recalls, the most serious involving rear drive shaft bolts that may not have been tightened to specification and can loosen over time, allowing the drive shaft to separate from the transmission and causing sudden loss of drive power. On the occupant safety side, the rear head restraints may not stay locked in the upright position in very cold temperatures (below -20°C), which means they can drop during a crash and reduce protection for rear seat occupants. There is also a structural concern where excess insulation material may extend into the lower windshield area, which can interfere with occupant protection in a frontal collision.

STRUCTURE

Defect

Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts and CMVSS 115 - Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Excess bulkhead insulation material may have been used during manufacturing, and as a result, could extend into the lower area of the windshield. This excess insulation could cover the VIN label, and potentially affect bonding of the windshield. If the windshield bonding is affected on the passenger side, in the event of a crash (where passenger frontal airbag deployment is warranted), the airbag may not deploy as designed, which would fail to meet the requirements of the standard, and increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Safety Risk

No risk description available.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the bulkhead insulation for excess material and remove it as necessary. In the event of compromised windshield bonding, the bonding will be reworked.
