The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a steering coupling bolt that may not have been tightened correctly, allowing the steering connection to loosen and causing the driver to lose steering control.
The center rear seatbelt also has a recall: on certain trims, the belt may have been installed without its child seat locking function active, meaning a child restraint cannot cinch down properly in a crash and leaves the child with less protection than the belt is designed to provide. On the electronics side, the infotainment control unit can reset while the vehicle is moving and cause the instrument panel display to go blank, taking the speedometer and warning indicators off screen while driving.
