Mercedes-Benz roof panel can come off while driving

NHTSA campaign 23V854000 · Reported 2023-12-15 · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC

high How serious is it? About this label

A panel that lets go becomes a road hazard that can cause a crash, and while the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, you should get the free repair promptly.

What's wrong, in plain English

On these vehicles, the roof panel between the top of the windshield and the panoramic sunroof may not have been glued on correctly during an earlier repair at a shop. Because the bonding is weak, that front panel can work loose and separate from the car. If it comes off while you are driving, it can fly onto the road and hit or startle other drivers behind you.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your car is included. 2. Contact a Mercedes-Benz dealer to book the repair, or call MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. 3. The dealer replaces the front roof panel at no cost to you.
