6 recalls across 6 model years
The Mercedes-Benz C 350 E has 6 recalls covering 2018–2020 model years, with the most serious being a steering rack defect on 2018–2019 vehicles where the rack can fail and leave the driver unable to properly steer the car.
The 2018 model year carries the heaviest share of issues. A roof front panel on 2018 vehicles may not bond correctly to the body and can detach while driving, becoming a hazard for other traffic. A separate recall addresses the same consequence on 2018 models where a prior repair attempt may have left the front panel inadequately bonded. Also on 2018 models, the passenger seat sensor that determines whether the front airbag should be active can display an incorrect status, showing the airbag as on when it will not actually deploy in a crash, leaving a front passenger without that protection.
The 2018–2020 model years share two additional issues. The automatic crash notification system, which is meant to alert emergency services after a collision, can malfunction and send responders to the wrong location. On 2020 models specifically, a software error can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing when backing up, reducing the driver's visibility behind the vehicle.
