MERCEDES-BENZ SLK300 Recalls

The Mercedes-Benz SLK300 has 3 recalls, all affecting the 2015-2016 model years, with the most serious being a rear suspension defect on certain 2016 models where loose lock nuts on the rear wheel tie rod connection can allow the rear axle to steer independently, raising the risk of a crash. The other two recalls also affect specific 2016 production windows. On 2016 models built in mid-2015 and equipped with the nine-speed automatic transmission, the backup power supply for the ignition switch may not be properly connected, meaning the parking system cannot hold the vehicle stationary without the driver keeping a foot on the brake pedal. On 2015 models built in late June through mid-July 2015, the low-beam headlights may have been aimed incorrectly at the factory, reducing forward visibility at night and raising the risk of a crash.
