2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

This 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 is a gasoline-powered SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder M264 engine, turbocharging, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The VIN decode identifies it as a left-hand-drive vehicle manufactured in the United States. The most significant visible damage is inside the cabin. Trim panels are missing from the front passenger footwell and lower dashboard, leaving wiring harnesses, connectors, and electronic components exposed. A light-blue airbag cushion is hanging along the left windshield and A-pillar area, indicating a deployed airbag. The condition of the remaining restraint-system components, including sensors, pretensioners, modules, and related wiring, cannot be determined from these findings and requires professional inspection. Exterior damage appears primarily cosmetic: light linear scratches are present on the black hood, scattered scuffs and fine scratches affect the side door panels, and additional light scratches are visible below and behind the left rear tail lamp. The lower outer bolster of the rear seat has light scuffing and discoloration. NHTSA records list multiple recalls for this make, model, and year. Of particular relevance are recall 24V724000, concerning possible incorrect routing of the front acceleration-sensor wiring harness that could affect front-airbag deployment, and recall 23V177000, concerning air-conditioning drain hoses that may allow water into the passenger footwells and damage electrical components. Other listed recalls concern the fuel pump, emergency-call communication software, rearview-camera operation, instrument-cluster illumination, electronic stability-control software, headlight adjustment, rear-door window trim, and other systems. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with a Mercedes-Benz dealer before purchase, and the vehicle should undergo a full collision-repair, airbag, electrical, and water-intrusion inspection.
