5 recalls across 2 model years
The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLA35 has 5 recalls covering the 2021-2022 model years, with the most notable being a headlight alignment issue on 2022 models where the beams can be aimed incorrectly, reducing visibility for oncoming drivers and raising the risk of a collision.
The 2021 model year carries four recalls, all related to electronic systems. Two separate recalls address the automatic emergency call (eCall) system: in one case the system can send emergency responders to the wrong location after a crash, and in another it can fail to connect to emergency services at all, delaying help when it's needed. There are also two rearview camera recalls on 2021 models, both resulting in the same real-world problem: the backup camera display can go black or fail to show an image when reversing, leaving the driver without rear visibility. One stems from a software error that prevents the image from loading, and the other involves the multimedia system rebooting or showing a blank screen on startup.
