I do not think a recall was done that affected the transmission. The only recall that has been applied according to my documentation is Campaign 202402004, which appears to be related to MBUX.
This is for a 2024 GLE 450 by the way. In any case, I will make sure to provide an update here once I hear back from the dealership. I will keep the “Force Adaptation” request in my back pocket.

Did you have the transmission recall completed? The recall process includes a transmission software update. My paperwork doesn't mention specifics, but the service manager told me he was confident the software update was "inclusive", and so the adaptations should have been reset. Of course he didn't say it with any real certainty, and I'm not convinced he had any idea what he was talking about. But whatever they did actually made my downshifting worse.

my other car is a volvo (2012) and I remember people were complaining about the rough downshifts and over time the complaints went to zero.
let it break in. it is not a disposable, cheap asian car using 40 year old tech.

That is the recall for engine stalling under certain circumstances. It is for 2020 - 2023 models and doesn't cover the rough downshifting problem. This problem has been around for years and I had the same downshift problem with my 2018 GLE. It was finally fixed by replacing the transmission valve body. Maybe Mercedes should just ditch the adaptive feature of the transmission (if that is part of the problem). The only thing a customer should notice about the transmission is that they don't notice the transmission.

I wish MB transmissions adapts to us and not we having to adapt to their transmissions.
