Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC is recalling approximately 164 vehicles, specifically certain 2021-2022 GLE350 and GLE450 models. A 12-volt electrical ground connection located under the driver’s seat may not have been tightened correctly during manufacturing, which can cause the connection to overheat. This defect can lead to a fire inside the vehicle cabin. Mercedes-Benz dealers will inspect and properly secure the connection for all affected owners at no charge.
A loose ground connection creates high electrical resistance, which generates excessive heat. This overheating can melt surrounding components and ignite a fire under the driver's seat, posing a danger to vehicle occupants and increasing the risk of property damage.
Dealers will inspect and secure the 12-Volt ground connection as necessary, free of charge.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
