4 recalls across 2 model years
The Mercedes-Benz GLS 550 has 4 recalls covering the 2018-2019 model years, with the most serious being a brake defect on 2018 models where reduced braking performance raises the risk of a crash.
The 2018 model year also has a door latch that can appear locked while remaining unlatched, allowing the door to open unexpectedly and raising the risk of injury to occupants. Both the 2018 and 2019 model years are affected by recalls involving the automatic crash notification system: on 2018-2019 vehicles, the system can send emergency responders to the wrong location after a crash, and on 2019 models specifically, the system can fail entirely, preventing occupants from reaching emergency services and delaying response.
