Recall and complaint counts vary significantly between model years. Some years may have several recalls due to shared components across a platform, while others may have very few. Consumer complaint counts tend to be higher for older vehicles simply because they have been on the road longer and have had more time to develop issues.

All data on this page comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the federal agency responsible for motor vehicle safety. NHTSA issues recall orders when a safety defect is identified and collects consumer complaints from vehicle owners who report safety problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which MERCEDES-BENZ SLC300 year has the most recalls?

Select each model year above to compare recall counts. The vehicle detail page for each year shows every recall campaign that affects that specific year, including the defect description, affected component, and available remedy. Keep in mind that a recall affecting a broad range of years will count once for each year, so a single campaign can increase the count for many model years.

Are more recalls a sign of a bad vehicle?

Not necessarily. A recall means the manufacturer identified and is fixing a safety issue — which is actually responsible behavior. Some of the most reliable manufacturers issue frequent recalls as a precaution. The severity of the defect matters more than the number of recalls. Look at the specific recall details, complaint narratives, and whether crashes or fires were reported to judge actual risk.
