Mercedes-Benz GLE: An increased braking distance

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 97,652 units of the GLE model series (BR 167) in the plug-in hybrid version built between 2019 and 2023 to authorised dealerships worldwide. The reason for the recall is that under certain circumstances, an increase in the braking force on the pedal must be exerted, resulting in an increase in the braking distance.

As a corrective measure, the ESP controller software will be updated.

The KBA monitors the recall under the reference number “013373“. The internal manufacturer code is “5496340“.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
