First service appointment

I just bought my GLE 450 a week ago and now they are already scheduling me in for a service in 4 months? I am confused and would like thoughts on if anyone had their so called "first service appointments" that happen relatively quickly after your vehicle purchase.
This is a good car... and I don't think it would require service after 4 months? Especially if the recommended service schedule is once a year with service a/b that I've read. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

I'm assuming you got a letter/message from your selling dealer.

You shouldn't be due for service, but you might have a recall.

Call them and ask, or go to the NHTSA website, enter your VIN and see if you have a recall.

If there's a coupon, save it.

I gave them a call and they were just as confused as me. They just told me that it is "automated" and they just wanna use their eyes at it to see if it is running smoothly. I asked if I would be charged and they said no charge.
NHTSA shows 0 recalls on the website after entering VIN.

How many miles are on the vehicle? My GLE started trying to schedule me when I hit 8000 miles which for me was about 5 months. Service is supposed to be performed at 10,000 miles or 1 year. It is no big deal, just call the dealership and cancel the service appointment.

68 miles right now! Hence why I am starting to believe it is a money grab from the previous reply.

With 68 miles on it you should be good to go. man. unless that a 450e you shouldn't see a service until you close to 10k miles.
