Plain-English summary
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC is recalling certain 2024 GLC 300 vehicles due to a defect in the vehicle's structure. The front, rear, and fixed side windows may not be properly secured, which allows them to detach from the vehicle. Additionally, the front air bags may not be properly supported by the windshield during deployment.
Detached windows can create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash or injury. Improperly supported air bags can also increase the risk of injury during a crash. The source text does not report any specific incidents of injury or death associated with this defect.
Dealers will inspect and replace the front, rear, and fixed side windows, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 15, 2024.
