STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
A detached roof panel can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
7 safety recall campaigns, 2 defect investigations (1 open).
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A detached roof panel can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
A separated universal joint bearing can cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
The adhesive bonding of the front panel might deteriorate, possibly causing the front panel to detach from the vehicle and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Failure of the eCall system may result in emergency responders being dispatched to the wrong location, increasing the risk of injury following a crash.
In the event of a crash, if the air bag does not deploy as designed, the front seat passenger has an increased risk of an injury.
If the driver air bag inadvertently deploys, it can increase the risk of injury and a crash.
Two 2017 MERCEDES BENZ AMG CLA45s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
