This can cause the front panel to detach from the vehicle.
According to Mercedes:
"In this case, the adhesion of the bonding of the front panel to the vehicle body might deteriorate gradually over time and could result in the front panel to partially or fully detach from the vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash and/or injury for other road users."
If the problem occurs, a driver may hear too much wind noise in the area of the sunroof and may also see a loose roof panel.
The automaker is aware of 228 warranty claims and 24 consumer complaints received from August 19, 2021, to November 15, 2023.
Mercedes will mail recall letters February 13, 2024, and dealerships will replace the front panels.
Mercedes-Benz owners may call 800-367-6372.
