5 recalls across 1 model year
The Mercedes-Benz ML400 has 5 recalls all affecting the 2015 model year, with the most serious being improperly assembled axle bolts on the front and/or rear drive axles that can fracture, destabilizing the vehicle and raising the risk of a crash.
A separate suspension-related recall on 2015 models involves an oil leak that, near an ignition source, can start a fire. On the fuel side, water can collect in the spare tire wheel well and damage the fuel pump control unit, causing the engine to stall while driving. A seatbelt recall covers 2015 vehicles built between late April and mid-May 2015, where the right rear seatbelt anchor bolt may have been incorrectly installed and can fail to hold the passenger in a crash. The remaining recall affects 2015 models as part of a broader 2013-2017 group: a software fault in the emergency call system can report an incorrect date, time, and vehicle location to emergency responders, potentially delaying their arrival.
