2016 Mercedes-Benz C350e Recalls & Complaints

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C350e has 5 recalls, the most serious being an airbag that can deploy without warning, raising the risk of injury and a crash.

Two recalls involve the front roof panel, which can detach from the vehicle and become a road hazard. One of these covers vehicles where a prior repair attempt may not have correctly bonded the panel, meaning earlier work may not have fully resolved the issue. On the electrical side, the starting current limiter can overheat and melt surrounding components, creating a fire risk. There is also a software fault in the emergency call system that can report an inaccurate vehicle location during an emergency, which may delay responders reaching the scene.
