Known issues on the 2017 GLE550. One recall is recorded for the 2017 GLE550, and it involves the windshield. On certain vehicles, surplus insulation from the bulkhead could reach up into the lower edge of the glass, which risked weakening the windshield bond and, with it, the protection the front passenger air bag is meant to give in a crash. Dealers were to trim away the excess insulation and redo the windshield bonding where required. The manual's body, glass and supplemental restraint procedures, specifications and torque values cover the areas around that repair.
