What is this? Some Mercedes-Benz GLE and GLS cars have a weak seal in the shock absorbers. This part may wear out too soon.
What's happening? If the seal breaks, the car might tilt when turning with a heavy load. This raises the chance of a crash.
Does this affect me? Owners in Germany, Finland, France, Sweden, or Slovakia may have this issue.
What should I do? Take your car to a Mercedes dealer right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic for help.
