The problem
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2025-2026 GLE 350 4MATIC vehicles. The center rear seat belts may have been installed without the child seat protection function and fail to lock a child restraint properly.

The risk
In the event of a crash, an insufficiently restrained child has an increased risk of injury.
