How to check if your Mercedes-Benz GLE/GLS(167) has a recall

A recall covers specific build dates and vehicle identification numbers (VINs), not every Mercedes-Benz GLE/GLS(167) on the road. To see whether yours is affected:

Ask an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer: recall repairs are free, including on used cars and cars serviced elsewhere.
