SUBJECT

Model 166,292, Model Year 2016 - 2017

Update Engine Control Module Software

Daimler AG ('DAG'), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain GLE (166 platform) and GLE coupe (292 platform) vehicles, the engine control unit software may not correspond to current specifications. This may result in an engine shut-down just before vehicle stop, e.g. braking in response to a traffic light or stop sign. In addition, if the engine is under heavy load and the driver only lightly depresses the accelerator pedal following an ECO start, the engine could also shutdown. Depending on the traffic situation, an unintentional engine shut-down could increase the risk of a crash. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the engine ECU software on the affected vehicles.
