What this recall means for you
Some panoramic sunroofs may not be properly bonded to the vehicle, so the glass panel can come loose and fall off while the car is being driven.
If the panoramic glass detaches during operation, it can increase the risk of injury or a crash. Owners should be aware of this hazard and get the recall repair completed promptly.
The repair is free. Dealers will inspect the bonding of the rear sunroof glass panel and replace the glass if needed. Owners will be notified by mail, but you can also contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 or check your VIN for open recalls.
