Known issues on the 2013 GL350. Three recalls cover this year. Certain vehicles equipped with the Active Curve System could, when reservoir oil ran low, see that oil foam up and escape through the cap vents, a fire risk near an ignition source; dealers correct the level and fit a new cap. Certain vehicles built from May through October 2012 may have had under-tightened second-row seat belt anchor bolts. A third recall, for certain vehicles, fixed eCall software whose clock errors could misplace the reported location. Among 7 complaints, the engine leads with 4; 1 complaint reported a fire and 2 an injury. One separate steering complaint was filed against the 2013 X166-chassis models. Procedures, torque values and diagnostics cover these systems.
