Motor Distributors Limited (Mercedes-Benz) has announced a recall for specific models of their vehicles, including the GLE, G, EQA, and EQB classes. The recall affects vehicles produced between August 2022 and March 2025 for the GLE series, January 2024 and August 2025 for the G class, and February 2021 and July 2024 for the EQA and EQB models. There are a total of 511 vehicles impacted in the Republic of Ireland.
The GLE class vehicles may have a shielding plate that was not installed correctly, which could lead to the fuel line being damaged and potentially causing a fuel leak. This situation poses a risk of losing propulsion unexpectedly, which could result in accidents. The G class vehicles may have wheel bolts that do not meet safety standards, risking wheel detachment while driving, which also increases the likelihood of accidents. Lastly, the EQA and EQB models have a risk of an internal short circuit in the high-voltage battery, which could lead to a fire hazard.
Customers who own these vehicles will be contacted directly by Motor Distributors Limited to schedule necessary repairs at their local dealer or authorized repairer. If vehicle owners suspect their vehicle may be affected, they are encouraged to reach out to the Motor Distributors Limited Contact Centre for further assistance.
