Problem description:
The bolt for the 48V ground connection under the passenger seat may have been secured with insufficient torque. As a result, the electrical resistance of the connection could increase and the temperature may therefore arise in this area, posing a risk of fire.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 17 October 2018 and 21 November 2021.
