A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Driver-side rear door lock: Mercedes-Benz GLS (X166)
- Period mentioned
- Model years 2017–2018 in the US (only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- The rear door on the driver side shows that it is locked, but it may not be and can be opened unintentionally.
- Possible cause described
- The driver-side rear door lock may indicate that it is locked when it is not. It is US recall 17V816 (8,700 vehicles across GLS, GLE and S-Class models); the remedy is to inspect the left rear door lock and replace it if necessary.
- Check for the garage
- Ask a Mercedes-Benz dealer, with the VIN, whether your GLS has this recall or a European equivalent outstanding: they inspect the lock and replace it free of charge if needed. Meanwhile, if children ride in the back, use the child lock and check that the door does not open.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
