5 recalls across 1 model year
The Mercedes-Benz GLS550 has 5 recalls all affecting the 2017 model year, with the most serious being a front suspension oil leak that can reach an ignition source and start a fire.
The door latch system on 2017 models has a separate issue where a door that appears locked can open unintentionally, raising the risk of occupant ejection or injury. The center console latch can also fail to hold in a crash, allowing unsecured objects inside to fly through the cabin and strike occupants. Two recalls cover the emergency call system: a software fault can cause the system to report an incorrect date, time, or vehicle location, and a separate system failure can send emergency responders to the wrong location entirely, both of which can delay help after a crash.
