What is being recalled

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2021 AMG GLS63, 2020-2022 GLS450 and GLS580 vehicles. Due to a manufacturing error, the locks on the third-row seatbacks may fail in the event of a crash.

Why it is dangerous

A seat with a seatback lock failure may not properly restrain occupants, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
