2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 recall: airbag
⚠️ What's wrong
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling one 2020 GLE 450 vehicle. The windshield may not have been bonded correctly to the vehicle, possibly allowing it to separate from the vehicle and affect the full protective function of the passenger's frontal air bag in the event of a crash.
💥 The risk
A separated windshield may reduce the effectiveness of the passenger air bag restraint system and increase the risk of injury in a crash.
🔧 The fix
MBUSA will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect the windshield bonding and repair it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 31, 2020. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020080014.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
