8 recalls covering model years 2021. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles have a micro-switch in the driver's door lock that can corrode. When this happens, the switch may fail to detect that the door is open, which can prevent the electronic parking brake's Auto-Park feature from engaging on its own. Without the parking brake engaging automatically, the vehicle may roll away on its own.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling a wide range of its cars and SUVs, including many AMG models. A software error on the SIM card inside the vehicle's communication module can cause the car to lose its mobile network connection. When that happens, the emergency call system is disabled. That is the system an occupant uses to reach an emergency services call center. The software will be updated either over the air or by a dealer, free of charge.
A software error can cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the screen when backing up in some Mercedes-Benz AMG models. Without the camera picture, the driver has less view of what's behind the vehicle while reversing.
Some AMG GLB35, A220, and GLB250 vehicles have a part called the integral carrier that supports the front axle. Over time, this part may corrode and eventually fail. If the carrier fails, the driver could lose steering control, which increases the risk of a crash.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain GLB 250 and AMG GLB 35 vehicles because the driver-side window air bag may not be mounted correctly to the lower part of the A-pillar. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard for ejection mitigation. Dealers will inspect the mounting of the driver-side window air bag and repair it as necessary, free of charge.
A software problem in these vehicles' MBUX multimedia system can cause the display screen to stay black, or to reboot after the vehicle starts up. Because the rearview camera image appears on this same display, the software problem can also stop the rearview camera picture from showing properly when the driver is backing up. This means the vehicle's rear visibility system may not work the way it is supposed to.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain GLB35 AMG and GLB250 vehicles because the side spoilers on the tailgate may not have been installed correctly. Spoilers that are not properly attached can come off the vehicle. Dealers will inspect the side spoilers and replace them if necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed July 2, 2021. Owners can reach Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 with questions about this recall.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling a wide range of cars and SUVs, including C-Class, E-Class, GLA-Class, GLC-Class and AMG models. The way the software in the car's communication module was designed means the automatic emergency call system may not report the correct vehicle location if the car is in a crash. A dealer will update that software, or the update can be delivered over the air, at no cost to the owner.
