What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2017 GLE and GLS model vehicles because the center console may unlatch during a crash, allowing objects stored inside to become projectiles that could strike and injure vehicle occupants. The vehicles affected include various GLE and GLS models with different engine sizes and configurations.

To address this issue, MBUSA will notify owners and dealers will modify the center console at no cost to remain latched during a crash. The recall was expected to begin in early March 2017. Affected owners should contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
