Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC: GLS-Class SUVs Recalled for Third-Row Seatback Lock Failure

Agency Publication Date: September 30, 2022

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling approximately 59,574 vehicles, specifically certain 2021 AMG GLS63, 2020-2022 GLS450, and 2020-2022 GLS580 models. Due to a manufacturing error, the locks on the third-row seatbacks may fail during a collision. If the lock fails, the seatback may not properly restrain occupants, which increases the likelihood of injury. Owners are advised to take their vehicle to an authorized dealer for a free inspection and replacement of the third-row seatback as necessary.

Risk

In the event of a crash, the third-row seatback locks may fail to hold, causing the seat to move or collapse. This prevents the seat from properly restraining occupants or cargo, significantly increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
