Buying a used 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB35? Check these 8 recalls first
Eight recalls make this one of the busier files. Two are high severity: a front axle component that can rust, and a door lock switch that may let the vehicle roll away. The rest are medium — a window airbag possibly mounted incorrectly, two separate backup camera faults, tailgate side spoilers that can detach, and emergency call problems. Five unverified NHTSA complaints span suspension, power train, engine and service brakes, with no crashes, fires or injuries reported.
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 front axle rust recall was completed and inspect the front underbody for corrosion.
- Verify the door lock switch rollaway recall and the window airbag mounting recall by VIN.
- Start the car cold several times and confirm the backup camera image appears every time.
- 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.
