- Problem
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2023-2025 GLC 300, GLC 300 4MATIC, 2024-2025 AMG GLC 43 4MATIC, 2025 GLC 350E 4MATIC, and AMG GLC 63 S E vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof. In certain crash scenarios, where the rear occupant's head contacts the C-pillar, the pillar may not absorb an adequate amount of the impact. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."
- Risk
- In the event of a crash, insufficient impact protection can increase the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will modify the roof lining and C-pillar trim, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 9, 2025. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2023-2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC and AMG GLC vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof may not meet a federal occupant protection standard. In certain crashes, a rear passenger's head can strike the C-pillar, and the pillar may not absorb enough of that impact.
If a crash happens, this shortfall in impact protection can increase the risk of injury to a rear occupant. The vehicles were found not to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201, which covers occupant protection in interior impacts.
The remedy is free. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will modify the roof lining and C-pillar trim at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed July 9, 2025. You can also call Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
