Mercedes-Benz recalls certain 2024-2025 models for detaching mirror and camera
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2024-2025 GLE and GLS models because the windshield-mounted rearview mirror and multi-purpose camera may detach, reducing visibility and disabling safety features.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves loss of critical safety systems (Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Brake Assist) and reduced driver visibility. No injuries, crashes, or deaths have been reported, so this is a theoretical risk-of-harm scenario. Per the severity rubric, products with risk of harm but no reported injuries score 3 (High).
Plain-English summary
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2024 and 2025 vehicles, including the GLE 350, GLE 450e, GLE 450, GLE 53, GLE 63 S, GLS 450, GLS 63, and Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC models. The multi-purpose camera and rearview mirror may be insufficiently attached to the windshield and could detach.
A detached rearview mirror reduces the driver's visibility. A detached camera disables safety systems such as Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Brake Assist. Either situation increases the risk of a crash.
The recall affects 26 potential units. Dealers will replace the windshield and reinstall the camera and mirror at no cost. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2025. Owners should contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 or reference recall number 2025060001.
