Buying a used 2025 Mercedes-Benz C 300? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls so far, both high severity: a driver's seat belt anchor that may loosen, and a dashboard display that can go blank while driving. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Among four unverified owner complaints filed with NHTSA, back over prevention — the category for backup camera and rear-visibility problems — comes up twice, along with structure and electrical system reports. No crashes, fires or injuries are recorded. As a recent model year, the record is still thin.
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.
- Tug-test the driver's seat belt anchor and confirm the recall repair was done by VIN.
- Drive with the instrument display in view and watch for blanking or reboots.
- Shift into reverse several times and confirm the backup camera displays promptly 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.
