STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
- The defect
- 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."
- What it can cause
- In the event of a crash, insufficient impact protection can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 92,851 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the structure 43 times before this, most recently in September 2024 as 24V658000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 7 of the 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 134 complaints with NHTSA, 70 of them before this campaign was filed. 11 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2023, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V481000 (latches/locks/linkages), 26V281000 (electrical system), 25V533000 (steering), 25V365000 (exterior lighting).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC with NHTSA on June 6, 2025 as campaign 25V379000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
