Buying a used 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300? Check these 3 recalls first
Same three recalls as the 4MATIC version: a critical steering bolt that may loosen, a high-severity dashboard display that can go blank while driving, and a medium roof pillar padding issue, none with stop-driving or park-outside guidance. The unverified complaint count is higher here — 16 filed with NHTSA, three citing a crash and one an injury. Electrical system dominates at 12 reports, with engine and forward collision avoidance also appearing.
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 steering bolt recall was completed by a dealer
- Ask about blank or glitching dashboard display episodes
- Ask whether any driver assistance or engine faults have been diagnosed
- 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.
