7 recalls across 2 model years
The Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA35 has 7 recalls covering the 2020–2021 model years, with the most serious affecting 2020 models where loose rear brake caliper fasteners can reduce braking performance or allow brake components to detach from the vehicle, creating a road hazard.
Two separate recalls address the backup camera on 2020–2021 vehicles. A software error in the multimedia system can cause the display to go black or reboot on startup, and a separate software fault can prevent the rearview image from appearing at all, both leaving the driver without a rear view when reversing. There are also two recalls covering the automatic emergency call system on 2020–2021 models: one where the system can send emergency responders to the wrong location after a crash, and another where the system can become disabled entirely, preventing any contact with emergency services.
On 2020 models, interior switch illumination can fail, making controls harder to locate while driving. Also on 2020 models, the vehicle may not include a rear brake pad wear inspection gauge or the instructions for using one, which can allow brake pads to wear down undetected and reduce stopping ability.
