MERCEDES-BENZ CLS550 Recalls

The Mercedes-Benz CLS550 has 4 recalls spanning 2012 through 2015, with the most serious affecting 2012 models built in early December 2011, where insufficiently tightened bolts on the hood's secondary latch striker can loosen over time, leaving the secondary hood latch unable to catch the hood if the primary latch releases while driving. On 2012-2015 models, the LED taillights can fail to illuminate on the sides, reducing how visible the rear of the vehicle is to other drivers. Going further back, 2002-2011 vehicles have a sunroof panel whose bonding to the sliding roof frame can deteriorate, allowing the glass panel to detach from the car entirely and become a hazard for other vehicles on the road.
