What's wrong?
The accelerator pedal assembly in the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE53, Gle 350, and Gle 450 is the pedal unit the driver presses to request power. A bracket on the bodyshell holds that pedal module in position, so the pedal stays fixed while it sends the driver's input to the vehicle speed control system.
On affected vehicles, the lower spot welds on that bracket were not welded correctly during supplier production. Spot welds are small welded attachment points. If those welds do not hold as designed, the accelerator pedal module bracket can break or detach from its mounting point. That leaves the pedal assembly loose instead of firmly anchored, which is why Mercedes-Benz opened recall 24V117.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver would not get a dashboard message, noise, or other advance notice from the vehicle before the bracket fails.

The scope spans three GLE variants that use the same accelerator pedal assembly.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mercedes-Benz technician drills through the spot welds for the accelerator pedal module bracket and secures the bracket with rivets. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Previously paid repairs for this condition are handled through the new vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, since the involved vehicles remain under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
