The 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLA45 has 3 recalls, the most serious being an airbag that can deploy without warning, raising the risk of injury and loss of vehicle control.
A structural recall covers the front roof panel, where the adhesive bonding can deteriorate over time and allow the panel to detach from the vehicle while driving, creating a hazard for other road users. The third recall involves the emergency call system, where a software fault can cause the system to report an incorrect date, time, and vehicle location during an emergency call, which may delay first responders from reaching the scene.
