5 common questions answered
NHTSA reports three recall areas for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class. A communication software fault may relay an inaccurate emergency-call location, potentially delaying responders and increasing injury risk. A front suspension issue may allow oil to leak, and oil near an ignition source can increase fire risk. Certain second-row seat belt anchor bolts may loosen, which could leave an occupant improperly restrained in a crash. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A free VIN check identifies whether one of these campaigns remains open for your vehicle, so contact our team promptly if you received a notice or are unsure whether recall work was completed.
