SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020 GLB250 vehicles. The second row seat may not be correctly aligned within the seat track on one side, possibly causing the seat to not lock properly into place.
- What it can cause
- If the second row seat is not locked into place, there could be an increased risk of injury to the seat occupants in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the installation of the second row seat and correct it, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 23, 2020. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020090020.
- 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 36 vehicles this is a small campaign: 81% 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 12 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V430000. 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 51 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 19 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V481000 (latches/locks/linkages), 23V732000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 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.
Filed by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. with NHTSA on September 14, 2020 as campaign 20V558000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
