NHTSA recall 20V627000
Power Train · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2020 Gle 350 vehicles. The connection of the locking ring between the front and rear part of the drive shaft might not have been installed correctly, possibly resulting in a loss of power transfer between the transfer case and the rear axle differential.
Why it matters: If the transfer case disconnects from the rear axle differential the vehicle could stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: The affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory, therefore no owners will be notified. Dealers will replace the drive shaft, free of charge. Both vehicles were repaired in December 2020.
