Plain-English summary
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC is recalling certain model-year 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. These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."
In certain crash scenarios where a rear occupant's head contacts the C-pillar, the pillar may not absorb an adequate amount of the impact. This can increase the risk of injury to occupants.
Dealers will modify the roof lining and C-pillar trim at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 9, 2025. Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 for service scheduling.
