3 recalls across 3 model years
The Mercedes-Benz SLK250 has 3 recalls spanning the 2013–2015 model years, the most serious affecting 2015 models where the electronic stability control software can hold the brakes partially applied during normal driving, building heat in the brake components and reducing stopping power over time.
The 2013 model year has a separate concern with the front passenger seat sensor, which can misread a light adult as a child seat and deactivate the passenger airbag, leaving that occupant without airbag protection in a crash. Across all three model years, a software fault in the emergency call system can cause it to report an incorrect date, time, and location to emergency responders after a crash, potentially slowing their response.
