The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS 580 has 5 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump that can shut down without warning, cutting drive power and leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate or maintain speed.
A separate electrical concern involves the 48-volt ground connection under the passenger seat, which may not be properly secured and can overheat, raising the risk of a fire. On the structural side, the third-row seatback locks may fail in a crash, preventing the seat from properly restraining rear occupants. There is also a risk from rear door window trim bars that can detach while driving and become a hazard for other vehicles on the road.
