Mercedes-Benz is recalling 171,463 GLE and GLS from the 2018-2021 production period to workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is incorrectly installed condensation water drain hoses, which allow moisture to enter the interior. This can cause leakage currents, which could lead to an increased risk of fire, the inability to unlock the vehicle, failure of the eCall and activation of the engine emergency mode.
In the workshop, the condensation drain hoses of the air conditioning system are checked and correctly fitted if necessary. The KBA monitors the action under the reference number “012644“. At Mercedes, the actions run under the codes “8392005” and “8391109“.
