NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V828
Manufacturer Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Components TIRES, EQUIPMENT
Potential Number of Units Affected 64

 

Incorrect Tire Label on B-Pillar/FMVSS 101

Applying incorrectly sized tires to the vehicle will affect the speedometer reading, which can increase the risk of a crash.

 

Summary

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Mercedes GLE550e 4MATIC vehicles. The tire pressure label on the B-pillar lists incorrect seating capacity and front and rear tire dimension information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FVMSS) number 101, “Tire Selection and Rims.”

 

Remedy

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tire pressure label, replacing it, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in January 2018. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-877-496-3691.

 

Notes

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.
