2016 Mercedes-Benz Slk Class

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK Class has 4 recalls, the most serious involving brake software that can leave residual pressure in the hydraulic brake system after automatic braking, which may affect brake response in a subsequent stop.

On the steering side, rear tie rod lock nuts on certain vehicles can work loose over time, shifting wheel alignment and reducing steering control. There is also an electrical wiring concern: a backup power supply for the ignition switch may have been connected incorrectly at the factory, meaning that if the main battery fails with the engine off, transmission out of park, and electronic parking brake not applied, the transmission cannot be shifted into park and the vehicle could roll. Finally, a compliance recall covers low-beam headlamp aim on certain vehicles built for the Canadian market, where headlight output may fall outside the required range and reduce forward visibility at night.
