2 recalls across 2 model years
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren has 2 recalls covering the 2005 and 2007 model years, with the most serious being a 2005 alternator defect where hard driving raises engine compartment temperatures beyond what the alternator can handle, potentially damaging it and starting an engine compartment fire.
The 2007 model year has a separate windshield bonding issue where the glass may not be fully adhered to the body due to missing primer or activator during installation. If the windshield separates in a collision, it raises the risk of occupant ejection and serious injury.
