ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz Gls?
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS has no recall campaigns on record. This absence of recalls, combined with a low complaint volume of 17 unverified reports filed with NHTSA, places the vehicle in the Light burden band. Of particular note within these complaints are 4 alleged crash events and 1 fire, categories that the Safety Desk monitors closely even without federal confirmation. The Forward Collision Avoidance system is implicated in 4 of the unverified reports. This concentration of allegations against a primary active-safety feature suggests a need for consumers to observe whether NHTSA initiates a formal investigation. There is no federal crash-test data available for the 2024 GLS, nor for any adjacent model years, meaning its safety profile is currently defined by a limited paper trail rather than certified safety outcomes.
