The Fanciest Mercedes SUVs On The Block Are Falling Apart
Bad News For Mercedes GLE And GLS Owners It's not every day that you hear of pieces falling off a brand-new car, unless there are loads of Tesla Cybertrucks in your area. Yet that is exactly the issue that has befallen Mercedes-Benz and some of its most expensive SUVs in the U.S., with the NHTSA announcing a new recall for detaching interior cameras and mirrors on numerous trims across the GLE and GLS ranges, including the swanky bouncing SUV with the Maybach badge. According to the recall documents, the issue is similar to that of the Cybertruck: bad adhesive. 0:02 / 0:09 Nissan's revolutionary self-driving tech hits Japan's streets Watch More Mercedes Blames Supplier Mercedes lays the blame at the feet of AGC Automotive Americas Co. in Michigan, which allowed a production deviation to pass unnoticed, resulting in smart rearview mirrors potentially falling off. Obviously, this creates a bit of a challenge when backing up, but there are bigger concerns. At this end of the market, technological proliferation has even extended to the seemingly basic rearview mirror housing. Thanks to forward-facing multifunction cameras and other sensors, the affected vehicles lose the function of other advanced driver aids, which, as the NHTSA is always quick to point out, could increase the risk of a crash at either end of the vehicle. So is your car affected? Probably not, because only 26 vehicles have been flagged under this recall, but since the spread of potentially affected models is wide, it's worth a look before the recall notice hits your inbox. 2025 AMG GLE 53 4MATIC 2025 AMG GLE 53 4MATIC Coupe 2025 AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC Coupe 2025 AMG GLS 63 4MATIC 2024 GLE 350 4MATIC 2025 GLE 450 4MATIC 2025 GLE 450 4MATIC Coupe 2025 GLS 450 4MATIC 2025 Maybach GLS 4MATIC Source: Drew Phillips New Windshield Comes As Part Of Recall If yours is one of the affected models built between June 5, 2024, and October 12, 2024, you could score a new pane of glass, as the camera elements are embedded. This means you score a new windshield if your rearview isn't great, but it also means you may need to replace an expensive camera system if you suffer from something as minor as a stone chip. It's a pity that Mercedes can't simply glue the multipurpose rearview mirror housing back on, but that would add to the labor costs and potentially result in some subpar finishing. When you're potentially inconveniencing Maybach owners with a letter notifying them of a recall (to be emailed on July 15), it's best to get them back out the door as soon as possible.

Mercedes to expand SUV production at Alabama plant
Mercedes is set to expand its plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, US, to include the production of the GLC SUV for the North American market. This move is set to deepen the German automaker's commitment to the US, as reported by Reuters. The Alabama facility, which serves as Mercedes' hub for SUV manufacturing, currently produces models such as the GLE, GLS, GLE Coupe, and Maybach GLS. The addition of the GLC, which is presently built in Bremen, Germany, is expected to further enhance the plant's production capabilities. During a media call on Monday, Mercedes executives did not disclose the investment amount for the new production line, stating that the project is still in the planning phase. A Mercedes spokesperson was quoted by the news agency as saying: "No significant changes to the average total production figures in Bremen are expected in the medium-term. Bremen will still produce the GLC for the rest of the world," and the Alabama plant "will localise GLC production for demand in North America." The company also decided to localise production of this core vehicle segment by 2027 aligns with its strategy to strengthen the Alabama site, celebrating three decades of operation. In financial terms, Mercedes-Benz Group has experienced a 7.4% decrease in revenue in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025, ending on 31 March, with figures dropping to €33.22bn from €35.87bn in the previous year. The luxury automotive manufacturer cites negative net pricing effects, a slight dip in unit sales, and a reduced component business with Beijing Benz Automotive as contributing factors. Furthermore, the company's net profit has seen a significant downturn, with a 42.8% fall to €1.731bn in Q1 2025, compared to €3.025bn in the first quarter of 2024.

Mercedes to add GLC SUV production at Alabama plant
Mercedes executives on Monday said the company will add production of its GLC SUV for North America at its plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Earlier this month, the German carmaker said it would bring a new vehicle to the Alabama plant in 2027 that would "deepen our commitment to the US". Foreign-made cars have been a main focus of President Donald Trump's global trade war. In early April, the Trump administration implemented 25% tariffs on vehicle imports. Mercedes' GLC is built at the Bremen, Germany, plant, which has 10 total models. A Mercedes spokesperson said on Monday "no significant changes to the average total production figures in Bremen are expected in the medium term. Bremen will produce the GLC for the rest of the world", and the Alabama plant "will localise GLC production for demand in North America". The move will expand production at the Alabama plant, the carmaker's hub for its SUVs, including the GLE, GLS, GLE Coupe and Maybach GLS. Mercedes executives on a Monday call with media did not say how much the carmaker will invest to build the GLC at the southern plant since it is in planning phases.
