The 2021 Mercedes-Benz A 220 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a missing anchor bar in the right-rear ISOFIX child seat bracket that prevents a child safety seat from securing properly, raising the risk of injury in a crash.
The other two recalls involve vehicle electronics. The MBUX multimedia system software can cause the display to go black or reboot after startup, leaving the backup camera unable to show a rearview image when reversing. There is also a recall covering the automatic emergency call system, which can fail to connect to emergency services after a crash, potentially delaying a response.
