3 recalls across 3 model years
The Mercedes-Benz SLK250 has 3 recalls spanning 2013 to 2015, with the most serious affecting 2015 models where the electronic stability control software can hold the brakes partially applied during driving, causing brake components to overheat and reducing stopping ability.
On 2013 models built in a narrow window between October and November 2012, the passenger seat sensor can misread a very light adult as a child seat and deactivate the front passenger airbag, leaving that occupant without airbag protection in a crash. Across the full 2013-2015 range, a software fault in the emergency call system can report an incorrect date, time, and vehicle location to emergency responders, potentially delaying help after a crash.
