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