The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC Class has 3 recalls, with two serious safety concerns: an 80-amp fuse that can overheat and cause sudden loss of drive power or a fire, and a steering shaft bolt that can loosen and cause total loss of steering control.
The third recall involves the front tow hook, which may not thread securely into the front crossmember. If the hook comes loose while the vehicle is being loaded onto a transporter or towed, it can shift unexpectedly and create an injury risk to anyone nearby.
