COMMUNICATION
An inaccurate vehicle location may delay emergency responders, increasing the risk of injury.
5 safety recall campaigns, 4 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An inaccurate vehicle location may delay emergency responders, increasing the risk of injury.
The leaking oil in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
If the passenger's frontal air bag does not function as designed in the event of a crash, the front seat passenger has an increased risk of injury.
If water enters the power steering control unit, the power steering assist may be deactivated, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the front passenger air bag does not deploy as necessary in the event of a crash, the front passenger has an increased risk of injury.
Two 2016 MERCEDES BENZ GLE63Ss can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
