A detached roof panel can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
7 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation (1 open), 4 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.
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.
In the event of a crash involving driver air bag deployment, an improperly inflated air bag and/or an inflator rupture with sharp metal fragments might result in serious injury or death to the driver or to occupants.
If the rear seat passengers cannot fasten their seat belts, they have an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Two 2018 MERCEDES BENZ GLC 350 Es 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.
