A manufacturing error led to a recall of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, according to NHTSA.
The rear door window trim bars may detach in several 2020-22 GLE and GLS models, including AMG and Maybach variants. An estimate in a Sept. 12 statement indicates about 161,000 vehicles are affected.
Dealers will inspect and fix the trim bars for free, a statement said. Owner notification letters will be sent on Nov. 11. Detached bars could cause a road hazard or increase the risk of a crash, NHTSA said.
“The fixation of the trim bar at the rear door windows might not meet specifications. Thus, the trim bar might separate from the vehicle while driving,” Robert Moran, a spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz, said in an e-mailed statement.
“An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will check the installation of the trim bars on the rear door windows and rework them, if necessary. Mercedes-Benz is neither aware of any case of material damage nor personal injury in connection with this issue.”
So far this year, Mercedes-Benz has issued 24 recalls affecting nearly 722,000 vehicles, according to NHTSA data. Some of those vehicles may be part of more than one recall campaign.
