Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class

The problem

The screw connection of a 12V wiring harness pf the vehicles equipped with plug-in hybrid traction may have been secured with insufficient torque. As a result, the electrical resistance of the connection could increase and the temperature may therefore rise in this area, posing a risk of fire.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
