Mercedes Benz has recalled 7429 GLE and GLS vehicles with a year range of 2019 to 2022 due to a defect that could cause a vehicle fire.
Due to a manufacturing issue, the threaded nut securing the 48 Volt wiring harness under the driver seat may become loose. If this occurs, it could result in higher than normal electrical resistance within the harness which could lead to a vehicle fire.
A vehicle fire could increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.
Owners of affected vehicles can contact their most convenient Mercedes-Benz dealership to have the work carried out as soon as possible, free of charge.
