Buying a used 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA35? Check these 5 recalls first
Five recalls, only one high-severity: a door lock switch that may let the vehicle roll away. The other four are medium and cluster in electronics — the backup camera going black at startup, the camera image not appearing at all, an emergency call system that may report the wrong crash location, and one that may stop working entirely. NHTSA lists a single unverified owner complaint, categorized unknown or other. Nothing carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning.
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.
- Confirm the door lock rollaway recall was completed by VIN
- Cycle the ignition and reverse to test the backup camera
- Ask whether both emergency call system recalls were done
- 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.
