- Problem
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Mercedes GLE 550e 4MATIC vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FVMSS) number 101, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- Risk
- Applying incorrectly sized tires to the vehicle will affect the speedometer reading, which can increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tire pressure label, replacing it, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in January 2018. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-877-496-3691.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
A tire pressure label on the B-pillar of certain vehicles lists incorrect seating capacity and front and rear tire size information, so the vehicles do not meet a federal tire labeling standard.

The manufacturer will notify owners. Authorized dealers will inspect the tire pressure label and replace it if needed, at no cost to you. The recall is expected to begin in January 2018.
