2018 Mercedes-Benz Glc 300 Recalls & Complaints

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 has 12 recalls, the most serious involving the driver airbag inflator, which can rupture during deployment and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, with the risk of serious injury or death.

A separate airbag concern involves the inadvertent deployment of the driver airbag without a crash occurring, which itself raises the risk of injury and loss of vehicle control. The passenger airbag system also has a recall: a sensor display can incorrectly show the front passenger airbag as active when it is not, leaving an occupant unprotected in a crash without knowing it. On the structural side, the adhesive bonding on the front roof panel can deteriorate or fail, allowing that panel to detach and become a road hazard; a related recall covers cases where a prior repair of that same panel was not completed correctly, with the same detachment risk. The fixed panoramic sunroof's plastic side and front panels can also separate from the vehicle while driving. The rear outboard seatbelt latch plates can retract into the interior trim, making it impossible for rear passengers to buckle in. The vehicle's emergency call system has several recalls covering scenarios where it may fail to connect with emergency services or may send responders to the wrong location after a crash. There is also a recall for LED-equipped vehicles where the front turn signals can display an incorrect pink or violet color rather than the required amber, making them harder for other drivers to recognize.
