The short answer

NHTSA received Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.’s report on Aug 7, 2020. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

A separated windshield may reduce the effectiveness of the passenger air bag restraint system and increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.

(MBUSA) is recalling one 2020 GLE 450 vehicle.

The windshield may not have been bonded correctly to the vehicle, possibly allowing it to separate from the vehicle and affect the full protective function of the passenger’s frontal air bag in the event of a crash.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
