The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 has 3 recalls, all centered on the same issue: the glass sunroof panel can detach from the vehicle and land in the path of other drivers.
The bond between the glass panel and the sliding roof frame can deteriorate over time, allowing the panel to separate while driving. A loose or shed panel poses a hazard to following traffic and raises the risk of a crash. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns address this same defect.
