The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a hood rubber seal that can fall into the engine compartment and contact exhaust components, raising the risk of a fire.
The remaining two recalls involve visibility and emergency systems. The LED tail lights may fail to illuminate on the sides of the vehicle, making it harder for other drivers to see the car from the rear. The emergency call system has a software fault that can cause it to report an incorrect date, time, and vehicle location during an emergency, which may delay first responders reaching the vehicle.
