SEATS
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling one 2020 GLE 350 vehicle. One of four bolts securing the driver's seat may not have been installed correctly and may fail.
- What it can cause
- If a driver's seat fastener bolt fails, the seat may not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- MBUSA will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect the driver's seat fastening bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 31, 2020. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020080010.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the seats 11 times before this, most recently in June 2020 as 20V328000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 89 complaints with NHTSA, 4 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the seats, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 19 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V177000 (visibility), 22V680000 (structure), 22V365000 (electrical system), 22V232000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
