- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020 GLC350E4 vehicles. The transmission wiring harness may be routed improperly, allowing it to chafe against the front drive shaft, which can cause loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the transmission wiring harness, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 26, 2022. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2022080001.
- 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.nhtsa.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 1,168 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the power train 18 times before this, most recently in June 2021 as 21V478000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V070000 (exterior lighting), 22V232000 (back over prevention), 21V354000 (back over prevention), 20V651000 (steering).
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 July 11, 2022 as campaign 22V494000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
