Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 82 of its 2025-2026 GLE 350 4MATIC vehicles because the center rear seat belts may have been installed without a child seat protection lock. Without this function, the belt may fail to properly secure a child safety seat in the event of a crash. To fix this issue, authorized dealers will replace the center rear seat belt assembly at no cost to owners.
If a child safety seat is not properly locked and restrained, there is a significantly increased risk of injury to the child during a collision.
Free replacement of the center rear seat belt assembly.
