What is this? This is about some Mercedes-Benz cars (GLE and GLS models). A part called the rear cross-beam may not be welded strongly enough.
What's happening? The weak weld could break. If it does, the beam might fall off while the car is towing something. This could cause an accident.
Does this affect me? If you own or drive a GLE or GLS made in Germany, you may be at risk.
What should I do? Stop using the car for towing. Ask a Mercedes dealer or your mechanic to check the welds. Talk to them before driving again.
