NHTSA Recall 17V828000
Filed by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. Component: Equipment. Reported 2017-12-18. An estimated 64 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Mercedes GLE 550e 4MATIC vehicles. The tire pressure label on the B-pillar lists incorrect seating capacity and front and rear tire dimension information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FVMSS) number 101, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Risk
Applying incorrectly sized tires to the vehicle will affect the speedometer reading, which can increase the risk of a crash.
What the manufacturer will do
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tire pressure label, replacing it, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in January 2018. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-877-496-3691.
