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 a software fault in the electronic stability control system can keep the brakes lightly applied during driving, causing brake components to overheat and reducing stopping ability.
The 2016 model year also has a separate issue where low-beam headlights on vehicles built during a narrow two-week window in mid-2015 may have been aimed incorrectly at the factory, reducing forward visibility at night. Spanning the full 2013–2016 production range, a software fault in the emergency call system can cause it to report an incorrect date, time, and vehicle location when triggered, which can delay emergency responders reaching the scene of a crash.
