Mercedes-Benz recalls its Model GLE

Mercedes-Benz has recalled its Model GLE. According to the car company, the recall is a result of a high-voltage starter-alternator processor load, which could increase the risk of an accident.

According to the supplier, “the vehicle’s processor in the control unit of the high-voltage starter generator may experience sporadic overload. Consequently, the system's monitoring function might incorrectly detect a faulty component in the high-voltage starter alternator.” In this scenario, the functions of the high-voltage starter generator could be deactivated, potentially leading to an unexpected loss of propulsion power without warning. This situation could increase the risk of an accident.

The production dates of these vehicles range from 2022-2026. A total of 54 affected vehicles were made available nationally, whilst others were possibly exported to Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland.

Consumers with affected vehicles are urged to make a booking with any authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer for a replacement, at no extra cost.
