Recall 25V864000
SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
Defect Description
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. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," and FMVSS number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Safety Consequence
In the event of a crash, an insufficiently restrained child has an increased risk of injury.

Dealers will replace the center rear seat belt assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 9, 2026. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning December 19, 2025.
