Details

What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2020 GLB 250 vehicles. Water may enter through the wheel well area into the front occupant foot wells, potentially damaging certain electrical components. This may result in the instrument cluster going blank, or an engine stall while driving without the ability to restart the vehicle.

Why it matters: Either a blank instrument cluster display or an engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will seal the vehicle body in the wheel well area and inspect the front foot wells for water intrusion, repairing as necessary, free of charge. The recall began July 31, 2020.
