Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 Recall 24V724: Front airbags may not deploy properly in a crash

NHTSA campaign 24V724, reported September 27, 2024, 10,655 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 and GLE 450 SUVs from 2021 and 2022 have a front acceleration sensor wiring harness that may be routed incorrectly. This can keep the front airbags from deploying properly, and the vehicles do not meet federal occupant crash protection requirements.

If the front airbags do not deploy properly in a crash, the risk of injury to occupants increases. Owners should take this recall seriously even if the vehicle seems to run normally, since the problem only matters when a crash happens.

Authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers will inspect the wiring harness and reroute it if necessary, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed November 1, 2024, and you can contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 about recall 2024100006. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
