Mercedes-Benz vehicles with left-rear seatback issue recalled

Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) is recalling 1,352 model year 2020 E450s, AMG E63Ss, GLC300s, AMG GLC43s, AMG GLC63s, AMG GT53s and AMG GT63s with rear seatbacks that can be electrically unlatched.

The left-rear seatback latch may not be strong enough to withstand certain loads. If cargo were to strike the left-rear seatback, the latch may fail.

Failure of the latch in a crash can increase the risk of injury.

What to do

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left-rear seatback latch free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin August 4, 2020.

Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at (800) 367-6372.
