Mercedes recalls 340,000 GLE and GLS SUVs due to fire risk

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 340,956 GLE and GLS vehicles manufactured between 2017 and 2023 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that an incorrect screwing of the cable connector at the 48V grounding point under the passenger seat may have come loose during the installation process and may lead to a fire risk.

In an authorised workshop, the screw connection of the grounding point is checked and corrected if necessary.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “013687“. The internal manufacturer code is “9190101“.

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.

If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
