Mercedes-Benz is recalling its ML and GLE SUVs due to a concern the windscreen wipers may fail. The fault involves the battery cable, which if incorrectly positioned may come in contact with the wiper arm. If this were to happen a short circuit could occur and may disable the wipers. Wiper failure in wet conditions could lead to impaired visibility and pose a safety hazard to the driver. The recall affects all ML and facelifted and renamed GLE variants made between February 1, 2015 and October 30, 2015 with a total of 879 vehicles needing the fix. A spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz Australia said they are not aware of any incidents connected to the fault. Owners will be notified by mail and advised on where to take their vehicle to have the fault rectified at no cost. This is the 11th recall this year for Mercedes-Benz Australia. Most recently the German carmaker recalled its S63 Coupe following the discovery that the front seat belts may not work properly during an accident due to incorrect fitment.

Senior Journalist

Laura Berry is a best-selling Australian author and journalist who has been reviewing cars for almost 20 years. Much more of a Hot Wheels girl than a Matchbox one, she grew up in a family that would spend every Friday night sitting on a hill at the Speedway watching Sprintcars slide in the mud. The best part of this was being given money to buy stickers. She loved stickers… which then turned into a love of tattoos. Out of boredom, she learnt to drive at 14 on her parents’ bush property in what can only be described as a heavily modified Toyota LandCruiser. At the age of 17 she was told she couldn’t have a V8 Holden ute by her mother, which led to Laura and her father laying in the driveway for three months building a six-cylinder ute with more horsepower than a V8. Since then she’s only ever owned V8s, with a Ford Falcon XW and a Holden Monaro CV8 part of her collection over the years. Laura has authored two books and worked as a journalist writing about science, cars, music, TV, cars, art, food, cars, finance, architecture, theatre, cars, film and cars. But, mainly cars. A wife and parent, her current daily driver is a chopped 1951 Ford Tudor with a V8.
