The 2005 Mercedes-Benz AMG E55 has 3 recalls, all centered on the same issue: the glass sunroof panel can lose its bond to the sliding roof frame, detach from the vehicle, and become a hazard for other drivers on the road.
The bonding that holds the sunroof glass to its frame can deteriorate over time, allowing the panel to separate while the vehicle is in motion. A loose or shed panel landing on the roadway creates a serious hazard for other vehicles, and depending on speed and traffic conditions, the separation itself can cause a crash. The fix for this defect addresses the panel retention directly, and owners can confirm whether their specific vehicle falls within the affected range using their VIN.
