The 2024 Mercedes-Benz C 300 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving two separate issues that can cause sudden loss of drive power or knock out critical safety systems including the airbags and instrument cluster.
The drive power concerns come from two sources: the fuel pump can shut down unexpectedly, and certain 80-amp fuses were manufactured incorrectly and can fail, cutting power to essential vehicle functions. There is also a front seatbelt concern: the driver-side seatbelt cover may not be properly secured to the tensioner, allowing the belt anchor to come loose and leaving the belt unable to properly restrain the driver in a crash.
