The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a rubber hood seal that can fall into the engine compartment and contact hot exhaust components, raising the risk of a fire.
A related fire risk exists through the same mechanism, where the seal can contact engine components in addition to exhaust parts. There is also an exterior lighting concern: the LED tail lights may fail to illuminate on the sides of the vehicle, reducing how visible the car is to drivers approaching from the rear or at an angle, which raises the risk of a collision.
