Buying a used 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43? Check these 6 recalls first
Six recalls on this year. Two are high-severity: a seat switch that may disable airbags in a crash, and a fuel pump that can fail and cause power loss. The medium items are mostly safety-electronics and interior — an emergency call system reporting the wrong crash location or failing entirely, a backup camera image not appearing, and incorrectly mounted rear headrests on Cabriolet models. Just 1 unverified owner complaint filed with NHTSA, under tires.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for VIN proof the seat switch airbag recall is closed
- Confirm the fuel pump recall repair was actually performed
- On a Cabriolet, check rear headrest mounting and camera display
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mercedes-Benz dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
