Mercedes-Benz Recalls — Canada & USA

Mercedes-Benz has 322 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1968 through 2026. Across those models, 2,605 recall campaigns are recorded, and the distribution skews heavily toward the upper tiers under the severity rating system: 32% of campaigns fall into the Critical tier and 34% into the High tier, meaning roughly two thirds of all recall activity involves consequences such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, brake failure, or serious injury potential. The Medium tier accounts for 28% of campaigns, while Low and Informational recalls make up just 6% combined.

The Sprinter 2500 leads the lineup with 99 recall campaigns, followed closely by the Sprinter 3500 at 95 and the Sprinter 1500 at 55, making the Sprinter family collectively the most recalled segment in the database by a wide margin. Beyond the Sprinter variants, the breadth of coverage reflects decades of passenger cars, SUVs, and commercial vehicles across the full model range, with the earliest records reaching back to 1968. Among recent Critical-tier activity, a recall affecting 2018 E 400 4MATIC Cabriolet vehicles addresses a sudden loss of drive power that raises the risk of a crash, illustrating the kinds of consequence-level issues that populate the upper end of the severity scale throughout the dataset.
