Summary
The Mercedes-Benz A 220 has 6 recalls across the 2019-2021 model years, with the most serious affecting 2019 models where the brake pedal plate can bend and impair braking, raising the risk of a crash. The 2021 model year has a child safety seat concern where the right-rear ISOFIX anchor bar may be missing from its bracket, leaving a child seat unable to be properly secured on that side. Also on 2019 models, the air conditioning condensation drain hose can be improperly routed, allowing water into the footwells and center tunnel and potentially damaging electrical components in ways that can trigger airbag system faults, prevent the engine from starting, or force the vehicle into a reduced-power limp mode while driving. The rearview camera on 2019 vehicles can also delay displaying an image when reversing, reducing the driver's view behind the car. Spanning 2019-2020 models, there is a missing rear brake pad inspection gauge, meaning worn rear pads may go undetected and reduce stopping ability. A label compliance issue also affects 2019 vehicles, where tire pressure information labels may be absent, leaving owners without the correct inflation specifications.
