Mercedes-Benz GLE recalled due to fire risk

Mercedes-Benz is recalling its 2021 GLE as a loose nut could lead to a vehicle fire.

“The threaded nut securing the 12 Volt wiring harness may become loose over time,” the company says in its recall notice.

“If this occurs, it could result in higher than normal electrical resistance within the harness which could lead to a vehicle fire.

“A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and/or damage to property.”
