Problem Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling one 2020 GLE 450 vehicle. The windshield may not have been bonded correctly to the vehicle, possibly allowing it to separate from the vehicle and affect the full protective function of the passenger's frontal air bag in the event of a crash. Risk A separated windshield may reduce the effectiveness of the passenger air bag restraint system and increase the risk of injury in a crash. Fix MBUSA will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect the windshield bonding and repair it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 31, 2020. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020080014.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 2020080014 is the number Mercedes-Benz assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 20V464000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
