3 recalls across 4 model years
The Mercedes-Benz SLK350 has 3 recalls covering 2013–2016 model years, with the most serious affecting 2016 models where the electronic stability control software can keep the brakes slightly engaged while driving, building heat in the brake components and reducing stopping ability.
The 2013–2016 model years share a software fault in the emergency call system where the system's internal clock can report the wrong date and time, causing it to relay an inaccurate vehicle location to emergency responders after a crash. A separate issue affects a narrow group of 2016 models built between late June and mid-July 2015, where the low-beam headlights may have been set with an incorrect aim at the factory, reducing how far ahead the driver can see at night.
