Mercedes-Benz is Recalling Certain Vehicles Due to Rear Crossmember May Detach

NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V172000

Components STRUCTURE
Potential Number of Units Affected 224
Summary
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020 GLE350, GLE450 AND GLS450 vehicles. The seams on the rear crossmember may have been insufficiently welded. This may allow cracks to form when towing, possibly causing the rear crossmember to detach from the vehicle.
Remedy
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear crossmember, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk with an interim letter April 3, 2020. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
