Mercedes-Benz GLA

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the identification marking on the headlamps may be missing. As a result, the headlamps may not be able to be adjusted correctly during service. 

Safety Risk: 
Headlamps that aren't aimed correctly could cause reduced visibility and/or glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the headlamps.

Issue: 
On one vehicle, the rear passenger seat rails may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the seats could move in a crash. 

Safety Risk: 
A seat that moves in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. 

Corrective Actions:
Mercedes-Benz will notify the owner by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear seat structure for the rear seats.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the plastic panel located between the windshield and the panoramic sunroof may not have been attached correctly during a prior service repair. Over time, the panel could loosen and separate from the vehicle. 
Note: This is an expansion of Transport Canada recall 2021-170. 

Safety Risk: 
A panel that detaches from a moving vehicle could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the front roof panel.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the headlamps were not adjusted properly at the factory. 

Safety Risk: 
Headlamps that aren't adjusted properly could cause reduced visibility and/or glare for oncoming drivers, and increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the headlamps, and adjust them as necessary.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the vehicle type printed on the compliance label is incorrect. The vehicle type should be "MPV/VTUM" instead of "PC/VT". Canadian regulations require the vehicle type to be identified on the compliance label.  

Safety Risk: 
This small error does not affect safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. Mercedes-Benz has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have the correct vehicle type printed on the compliance label.
