The bodywork around the front wheelhouses has not been sealed in accordance with the specifications, allowing water to penetrate into the front foot spaces and damage the control units and other electrical components installed in those areas.
As a result, the instrument cluster could stop showing information, the braking assistance (e.g. ABS, ESP) could be restricted, or the engine could stall while driving or no longer be able to start, increasing the risk of an accident.
The Mercedes-Benz GLB models affected by this recall were manufactured between 2 May 2019 and 24 January 2020.
