Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 2,797 of its 2024 GLE 450e Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) vehicles due to a software glitch in the electronic stability program (ESP). This error can cause the vehicle to require significantly more physical force on the brake pedal than usual to come to a stop, which may result in an unexpectedly long stopping distance. Mercedes-Benz dealers will provide a free software update to the ESP control unit to resolve the issue.
The software error can lead to an extended stopping distance, which significantly increases the risk of a crash because the driver may not be able to stop the vehicle in time to avoid an obstacle or another car.
Free software update for the ESP control unit.
