What is wrong
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020 GLB 250 vehicles.

This may result in the instrument cluster going blank, or an engine stall while driving without the ability to restart the vehicle.
The risk
Either a blank instrument cluster display or an engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will seal the vehicle body in the wheel well area and inspect the front foot wells for water intrusion, repairing as necessary, free of charge.
