STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
A detached roof panel can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
10 safety recall campaigns, 2 defect investigations (1 open), 7 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
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.
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.
If the passenger air bag is incorrectly displayed as 'ON' when it is not, a front seat passenger may be unaware that the air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
If the rear seat passengers cannot fasten their seat belts, they have an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Turn signals that are the wrong color may not be as easily recognized by other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2018 MERCEDES BENZ AMG GLC43s 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.
