The 2005 Mercedes-Benz AMG C55 has 3 recalls, all centered on the same issue: the sunroof glass panel can detach from the vehicle while driving and become a hazard for other road users.
The bond between the glass panel and the sliding roof frame can deteriorate over time, leaving the panel unsecured. If it separates at speed, the glass can land in the path of following traffic or strike pedestrians nearby. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist for this same defect across the C-Class lineup.
