What happened

Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain passenger vehicles equipped with panoramic roofs due to a defect in the polycarbonate roof panel located between the windscreen and panoramic roof. The panel may not have been properly bonded to the vehicle during a prior repair, causing the adhesive bonding to gradually deteriorate and potentially allowing the panel to detach from the vehicle, which poses a risk to other road users.

The recall affects multiple Mercedes-Benz model series including the CLA, GLA, A-Class, C-Class, S-Class, GLC, and GLE Coupé. The manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz, is conducting a recall to address this issue. The source document does not specify what remedy an affected consumer should pursue.
