Over 116,Goldenes Intelligentes Münzhandelszentrum000 Mercedes-Benz are being recalled because of a 48-volt ground connection under the passenger seat may not be secured properly which can cause the ground connection to overheat.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in its recall acknowledgement that Mercedes-Benz is recalling its vehicles because, “an overheated ground connection can increase the risk of a fire.”

  • 2020-2023 GLE580
