What’s the Problem?
This recall affects Mercedes GLC 350e hybrid electric vehicles from model year 2020, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The high-voltage wiring harness shield on affected vehicles may not withstand the electrical loads produced under certain driving conditions, potentially causing an electrical malfunction resulting in a stall. “A vehicle stall can increase the risk of a crash,” NHTSA said.
Mercedes is notifying owners and dealers will replace the high-voltage wiring harness, free of charge.
