Which Car Is It?
Choose the make and model so we can match recalls to your car.
Mercedes-Benz has the most UK recalls of any brand, and the highest rate per car on the road among major brands, with 18.04 car recalls per 100,000 cars since 2020. Part of that reflects a very wide range of cars and vans and a readiness to recall for software, but owners should check regularly. The largest recent recall, R/2024/166, updates the backup function of the steering software on the A-Class, B-Class, CLA, GLA, GLB, EQA and EQB, covering 314,515 vehicle-records. A 2021 wave of eCall recalls (R/2021/134 and R/2021/110) fixed emergency call systems on more than 270,000 records, and R/2022/125 fixed a passenger airbag on the C-Class and GLK. Many Mercedes-Benz recalls are software updates done in under an hour, and some can be done over the air. Sprinter and Vito vans have their own recalls; see our van recalls page. Any Mercedes-Benz retailer can check your VIN.

How Many Recalls Has Mercedes-Benz Had?
Since 2020 Mercedes-Benz has launched 421 UK recalls. Adjusted for its cars on the road, that is 18.04 car recalls per 100,000 licensed cars.
The per-car figure divides car recalls since 2020 by the number of Mercedes-Benz cars licensed in the UK in 2026 Q2, with van-only recalls removed.2 A higher count doesn't mean a car is less reliable: it reflects the size of the range, how vans are counted and how readily a maker recalls. See which car makes have the most recalls.

- The Code does not itself say repairs are free. GOV.UK guidance says "You will not usually have to pay for any repairs or parts under a safety recall." gov.uk Checked 15 Oct 2026.
- Models with fewer than 5 refs show lists, not rates.
- Code timelines: Producers normally respond to DVSA within 28 days (5.5); DVSA reviews are typically monthly (5.4). DVSA must be notified "as soon as the safety defect has been confirmed" (6.1). 3 notifications per motorist is seen as reasonable (8.3). Response rates are reported every three months (11.1).
