The 2004 Mercedes-Benz AMG E55 has 3 recalls, all concerning the same sunroof defect: the bond between the glass panel and its frame can fail, allowing the panel to detach from the vehicle while driving.
When the sunroof glass separates, it can fall onto the road and become a hazard for other drivers, or strike a following vehicle. The risk exists whether the roof is open or closed, since the glass can come free from the frame regardless of position. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns address the same underlying problem.
