Mercedes-Benz is recalling approximately 116,020 vehicles, including various GLE and GLS SUV models from the 2019 through 2024 model years. A 48-volt ground connection located under the passenger seat may not have been tightened correctly during manufacturing. This loose connection can cause the wiring to overheat while the vehicle is in operation, which could lead to a fire. Owners can take their vehicle to an authorized dealer to have the connection inspected and tightened for free.
The improperly secured electrical ground connection can develop high electrical resistance, causing the connection point to overheat. This heat can ignite surrounding materials under the passenger seat, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire even while driving.
