MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 Recalls

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 has 5 recalls spanning 2015 through 2021, with the most serious being an electric power steering failure on one specific 2020 model where contamination in the power supply connection can cause the steering assist to cut out while driving, making the vehicle harder to control. Covering the same model year range, 2018-2020 vehicles have a recall involving the automatic emergency call system, which can become disabled and prevent the vehicle from contacting emergency services after a crash. On the occupant safety side, the passenger seat classification sensor on 2015-2018 models can be improperly calibrated, which can prevent the front passenger airbag from deploying correctly in a crash. The 2019 model year has a door latch issue where the right-side doors may not open from the outside, complicating exit or rescue after a crash. Rounding out the 2018 model year, tail lights and side marker lights can flicker or go dark entirely, reducing how visible the vehicle is to other drivers.
