SEAT BELTS:FRONT
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2027 CLA 220 vehicles. A component of the left front seat belt may have been installed incorrectly.
- What it can cause
- A seat belt with an incorrectly installed component may fail to properly restrain occupants, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 27, 2026. 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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 4 vehicles this is a small campaign: 96% of the 19,865 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers one model year, 2027, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 25 times before this, most recently in May 2026 as 26V353000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 October 2, 2026 as campaign 26V636000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
