Recall 26V481000310,667 vehicles

Problem: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020-2021 CLA, 2019-2022 A-Class, 2022-2023 C-Class, 2024 CLE, 2020-2026 GLA/GLB, and 2023-2024 GLC vehicles. Please refer to MBUSA's recall report for specific model information. The micro-switch in the driver's door lock may corrode and fail to detect an open door, preventing the electronic parking brake or "Auto-Park" feature from engaging automatically. This may result in a vehicle rollaway.
Risk: A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Fix: Dealers will replace the driver's door lock, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 18, 2026. This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning July 31, 2026.

Recall repairs are free at any authorised dealer. A recall listed here may already have been fixed on a particular car: enter its 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see open recalls.

Electrical system
Rear Camera malfunction The flap of the reversing camera opens and closes by itself during forward travel, making a loud thumb noise every time the car slows down to an intersection. No camera image is displayed in the head unit. This is a driving distraction for the operator and thus a safety issue as the sound is loud and its made constantly at every stop when you slow down. Dealer was able to reproduce and said this was normal behavior. Recommended disabling the Parktronic driving assistance feature to not engage sensors, but this in itself would be inactivating an important safety feature. This problem is widely reported online.

1. Transmission Problem Vehicle Rolls backwards when the gear / transmission is in "Drive". It happens in these two situations: a) I am stopped at a Traffic Light which is Red. The road is at a moderate upward incline. When the Light turns Green, and I move my foot from the Break pedal to the Accelerator to move forward, the GLB rolls backwards even though the transmission is, and has been, in "Drive". b) I am backing out of my garage. Our driveway is at a moderate Backward / Downward Decline. As I reach the point where I shift the gear into "Drive", the car still continues to roll backwards. This is despite the fact that I had to depress the Brake pedal to place the vehicle in Drive. c) I…

Back over prevention › Rearview system braking
Every time I start my new Mercedes, the backup camera MUST recalibrate itself even if I never put the vehicle in reverse and am driving forward. This happens throughout the entire drive, every single time. The Mercedes forums all corroborate this as other models; not just the GLB, experience this. Mercedes denies anything is wrong and says this is âexpected behavior for rear camera calibrationâ. This makes absolutely no sense why a rear camera would need to recalibrate itself on every drive even when you never place the car in reverse. Furthermore, the backup camera is the âpop out kindâ so you constantly hear it popping out and popping back in. Itâs extremely distracting as it…
