Affects Mercedes-Benz GLE Class · 2021–2022 — about 1K vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for an acceleration sensor may not have been routed properly. As a result, the wiring could become damaged in a crash and cause the driver- and passenger-front airbags to deploy with too much force. Safety Risk: An airbag that inflates with too much force could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, re-route the wiring harness.
