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 remaining recalls on 2017 models cover cabin security and emergency systems. The center console can unlatch in a crash, allowing unsecured items inside to fly through the cabin and strike occupants. There is also a door latch issue where a door that appears locked can be unintentionally pushed open, raising the risk of occupant ejection or injury.
Two recalls affect the emergency call system on 2017 vehicles. In one case, the system can fail outright and send emergency responders to the wrong location after a crash. A related software fault can cause the system's internal clock to drift from the actual date and time, which causes the vehicle's location data to be inaccurate when a distress call is placed, potentially delaying help from reaching the scene.
