Recall campaigns 3 of 3

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

If the low beam headlight is not properly adjusted, the driver may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

If the passenger air bag is incorrectly displayed as 'ON' when it is not, a front seat passenger may be unaware that the air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR

If the window detaches from the vehicle, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

This page is about a model, not a car

Two 2018 MERCEDES BENZ C 300 4MATICs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
