Mercedes-Benz recalls model year 2017-2018 C class Cabriolets

Due to a bonding issue in the production process, the rear beltline trim may separate from the vehicle.

If the beltline trim were to separate from the vehicle while it's being driven, it could become a road hazard, posing the risk of a crash.

What to do

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear beltline trim and replace it if necessary, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin September 9, 2018.

Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
