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

Mercedes-Benz-GLE-2023-fire-risk-kba

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“.
