Official summary

Mercedes-Benz AG (?MBAG?), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz, has determined that on certain Model Year (?MY?) 2020 GLS-Class vehicles (X167 platform), the stop plate on the front axle suspension struts may not have been installed correctly on the support ring. It is possible that the vehicle level may lower to that of the bump stops.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
