Issue: On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for an acceleration sensor may not have been routed properly. As a result, the wiring could become damaged in a crash and cause the driver- and passenger-front airbags to deploy with too much force. Safety Risk: An airbag that inflates with too much force could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, re-route the wiring harness.
Issue: On certain vehicles, the bolt for the 48 V ground connection under the passenger seat may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the wiring could overheat and melt. Safety Risk: Wiring that overheats and melts can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the ground connection.
Issue: Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the engine to stall during a downshift. As a result, there could be a sudden loss of power to the wheels. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a V6 engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the transmission control unit software.
Issue: On certain vehicles, the fuel delivery module could fail. If this happens, the engine may run rough or may not start. This could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Note: This is an expansion of Transport Canada recall 2023-353. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuel delivery module.
Issue: On certain vehicles, the bolt for the 12V ground connection under the driver seat may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the connection could loosen and overheat. Safety Risk: A loose or overheated ground connection could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, repair the 12V ground connection.

In certain GLE series vehicles (model series 167) with OM654 and hybrid engines, a shielding plate in the bulkhead area may not have been fitted according to specifications. As a result, the fuel line could rub against the shielding plate and become damaged, causing a fuel leak. This may lead to a drop in fuel pressure and a loss of propulsion without warning, increasing the risk of an accident. Production: 29.08.2022 - 03.09.2025. Types: e1*2007/46*1885*18-*28 (H1GLE).
The 48V ground connection under the passenger seat may have become detached in the assembly process. This can increase electrical transition resistance at the point of connection. This can lead to an overheated ground connection and create a risk of fire. Production: 16.03.2017 - 07.01.2023. Types: H1GLE; e1*2007/46*1885*00 to *18.
A bolt on the 12 Volt earthing cable under the driver’s seat may become loose, leading to increased electrical contact resistance in that area. The strong electrical currents flowing through that point could cause a local increase in temperature, leading to fire. Moreover, the increase in contact resistance may also deactivate the ECO start/stop function, leading to increased exhaust emissions. Production: 9.02.2021 – 29.12.2021. Types: H1GLE; e1*2007/46*1885*12-*14.
The necessary brake pedal force may have to be increased under specific conditions (including electric driving in wet weather). If the driver does not brake harder, this could make the braking distance longer, increasing the risk of an accident. Production: 4.4.2019 - 27.10.2023. Types: e1*2007/46*1885*07-*22 (H1GLE).
