2017 Mercedes-Benz Slc 300

Defect. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2016 - 2021 CLA-Class, GLA-Class, GLE-Class, GLS-Class, SLC-Class, A-Class, GT-Class, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, CLS-Class, SL-Class, B-Class, GLB-Class, GLC-Class, and G-Class vehicles. Please refer to the Part 573 report for specific vehicle model details. The software design of the communication module may fail to communicate the correct vehicle location for the emergency call system (eCall) in the event of a crash.

Risk. Failure of the eCall system may result in emergency responders being dispatched to the wrong location, increasing the risk of injury following a crash.

Remedy. MBUSA will notify owners, and the communication module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. The recall began March 12, 2021. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2021020025.

Defect. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2015 SLK 250, 2016 SLK 350, 2016-2017 SLC 300, and 2017 SLC 43 AMG vehicles. In these vehicles, the electronic stability control (ESC) system software may incorrectly keep the brakes slightly applied.

Risk. If brake pads are constantly applied over long periods of driving, the brake components may heat up, affecting braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the dragging brakes may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy. MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the ESC system, free of charge. The recall began June 9, 2017. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.

The contact owns a 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC300. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a loud whistling sound coming from the upper panel of the roof. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the bonding of the upper roof panel had failed and required to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired, and the contact was referred to the dealer for additional assistance. The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for further assistance. The failure mileage was not available.

On September 6, 2025 while driving approximately 70 mph, the front roof panel of my vehicle detached completely. This was not only a costly failure, but also an extremely dangerous incident that could easily have caused severe injuries or fatalities — either to myself, my passengers, or other motorists on the roadway. As you are aware, Mercedes-Benz has already acknowledged this precise risk through NHTSA Recall No. 21V197000 / Campaign 2021070010, later expanded under NHTSA Recall 23V854000. These documents confirm that the bonding adhesive used on the front roof panel can deteriorate, leading to detachment. Mercedes has therefore had prior knowledge of this defect and its associated safety hazards. Given that my vehicle has now experienced the exact failure described in these recalls, it is wholly unreasonable for Mercedes-Benz to deny responsibility. This was not normal wear and tear; it was a known, documented safety defect that could have resulted in catastrophic consequences.
