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.
The attachment plate of the accelerator pedal unit might bend, causing the accelerator pedal to detach from the vehicle body. This can cause the accelerator pedal to remain depressed, to prevent kickdown or to obstruct the brake pedal, increasing the risk of accident and injury. Production: 03.05.2023 - 17.05.2023. Types: H1GLE; e1*2007/46*1885*20.
A bolt on the high-pressure pump may be faulty, which could impair the sealing function between the high-pressure pump and the tandem oil pump. As a result, oil and fuel may leak onto the road, posing a risk to the following traffic. In addition, oil and fuel could come into contact with hot engine parts, increasing the risk of fire. Production: 16.01.2023 - 16.07.2023. Types: e1*2018/858*00016*06-*07 (R2CW), e1*2018/858*00017*06-*07 (R2CS), e1*2007/46*1885*18-*21 (H1GLE), e1*2018/858*00186*01-*04 (R2CGLC).

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).
