Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020-2021 CLA, 2019-2022 A-Class, 2022-2023 C-Class, 2024 CLE, 2020-2026 GLA/GLB, and 2023-2024 GLC vehicles. Please refer to MBUSA's recall report for specific model information. The micro-switch in the driver's door lock may corrode and fail to detect an open door, preventing the electronic parking brake or "Auto-Park" feature from engaging automatically. This may result in a vehicle rollaway.
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2025 GLB 250, GLB 250 4MATIC, and GLB 35 4MATIC vehicles. The right-side front and rear tires may have sidewall damage, which can result in a sudden loss of tire pressure.
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2024 AMG GLB 35 4MATIC vehicles. The brake hoses on the rear axle may have been improperly routed, which could allow chafing, and result in a brake fluid leak.
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2019-2020 A220, 2020 CLA250, GLB250, AMG A35, AMG CLA45, AMG CLA35, and 2021 GLA250 vehicles. The vehicles may not be equipped with an inspection gauge to check the wear of the rear brake pads. In addition, information for using this inspection gauge might not be included in the owner's manual. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2021 GLB250 vehicles. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) unit may be damaged, which can result in disabled anti-lock brakes (ABS), disabled electronic stability control (ESC), and an electrical short circuit.
When driving tried to give it gas/accelerate and it stalled, jerks/chugs hard with no warnings. Then after the chugs stop when trying to give gas there is no response. Acts like the transmission is in protective mode. The motor is still running and was able to coast however when trying to accelerate there was no response. Had to pull to side of road. I was able to turn it off and back on and seemed to act normal again. It acts like the current recall of NHTSA#23V445 on all the other models in same years. The check engine light did come on steady and it has the following 3 codes when checked P008A low pressure fuel, P1463 gas and P0087 fuel rail system pressure low. I called the dealership and am taking it in tomorrow to drop off for them to inspect on Monday and they believe those codes are still covered under warranty. They offered a rental to use until looked at and fixed.

Vehicle: 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC Current mileage: Approximately 109,000 Date of most recent major incident:XXX I am reporting serious, recurring safety concerns involving my 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC, including engine malfunction, loss of acceleration, repeated overheating, misfire warnings, and intermittent electronic display failure. I purchased this vehicle Certified Pre-Owned in XXX with approximately 44,000 miles. Since purchasing it, I have experienced multiple significant mechanical failures despite repeated Mercedes-Benz dealership repairs. SUMMER 2024 – REPEATED OVERHEATING ON [XXX] While traveling on [XXX] in [XXX], my vehicle began overheating. I contacted Mercedes-Benz and was advised that I could continue driving. The vehicle repeatedly overheated, requiring me to pull onto the shoulder of the interstate multiple times to allow the engine to cool before attempting to continue. I was traveling away from home and ultimately required assistance from another individual who picked me up and provided somewhere for me to stay. I believe this incident placed my personal safety at risk because I was repeatedly forced to stop along an interstate due to an overheating engine. The vehicle was subsequently taken to a Mercedes-Benz dealership in [XXX], for repair. XXX – ENGINE MISFIRES AND MAJOR ENGINE REPAIR While traveling in [XXX], the check-engine light illuminated intermittently. After returning home, the warning returned. I was advised of ignition/misfire problems involving cylinders 1 and 3. Mercedes-Benz subsequently performed significant engine work, which was described to me as replacement or repair of ignition components and the upper portion of the engine. I was told this involved a known manufacturer issue. During the same service, Mercedes-Benz identified an oil leak involving the oil-filter housing and perform- I have more INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC, with approximately 70,000 miles, developed an intermittent Check Engine warning and began running rough and shaking during operation. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership for diagnosis. The dealer confirmed a major engine problem and determined that the cylinder head assembly requires replacement. I am concerned that the failure of a major internal engine component on a vehicle of this age and mileage could create a safety risk, particularly because the vehicle was running rough and shaking while being driven and the Check Engine warning was intermittent. The vehicle is currently at the authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership and the cylinder head repair/replacement has begun. The dealer's documented diagnosis states: “Cylinder Head Assembly: Replace Cylinder Head.” I am reporting this issue because I believe NHTSA should be aware of this engine/cylinder-head failure and determine whether other 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 vehicles have experienced similar failures.

SUBJECT: URGENT: Safety Recall Campaign 26V481 / XXX– Unreasonable Remedy Delay and Economic Hardship (VIN: [XXX]). I am formally logging a safety complaint regarding the unreasonable delay by Mercedes-Benz in providing a remedy for NHTSA Recall 26V481 (Mercedes Campaign XXX), affecting my vehicle (VIN: [XXX]). The manufacturer reported this critical defect to the NHTSA on XXX. Despite months having passed, and with owner notifications scheduled for XXX, the remedy remains unavailable. My local authorized dealerships (Mercedes-Benz of West Palm Beach and Delray) have canceled my service appointments, stating they have zero parts allocation from corporate and cannot perform repairs. This vehicle is a commercial asset utilized for peer-to-peer car sharing on the Turo platform. Because this recall involves a severe rollaway risk due to a defective door lock microswitch, Turo has automatically unlisted and deactivated my vehicle to comply with safety regulations. Mercedes-Benz’s failure to distribute parts is causing severe, compounding financial damages due to lost rental revenue, leaving me stranded with an unsafe vehicle that is legally and commercially inoperable. I request that the NHTSA intervene to hold the manufacturer accountable and expedite parts allocation. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
