Questions

Is there an open recall on my Mercedes-Benz C-Class?

Only your car's VIN can tell you: a recall stays open on a car until a dealer has done the repair. Enter the 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or in the CarsMultiverse VIN check. Since 2012 the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has had 66 US recall campaigns.

What is the newest Mercedes-Benz C-Class recall?

26V481: 2020-2021 CLA, 2019-2022 A-Class, 2022-2023 C-Class, 2024 CLE, 2020-2026 GLA/GLB, and 2023-2024 GLC. Check your own car by VIN to see if it is covered.

What should I do if my Mercedes-Benz C-Class is recalled?

Book it with an authorised dealer of the make. Under US law a safety recall repair is free. If the notice says not to drive the car or to park it outside, do that until it is fixed.
