Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled the 2019 and 2020GLESUV to fix a problem with the air-conditioning drain hoses.
“The drain hoses of the air conditioning system may not have been correctly installed and condensation may leak into the vehicle interior and cause malfunctions in different electrical components,” Mercedes-Benz says in its recall notice.
“Various electrical components may not function correctly and the risk of fire caused by a short circuit could increase. The automatic emergency call (eCall) may fail and it may not be possible to unlock and/or start the vehicle, or to activate engine limp-home mode.
“This would increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants or other road users.”
Mercedes-Benz Australia will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise a free fix with their nearest dealer.
