Trims in these campaigns

NHTSA files Mercedes-Benz recalls under trim names, not under "CLA-Class". These are the trims named in the campaigns above, with how many campaigns name each. Your trim is usually badged on the trunk lid.

• CLA250 27
• AMG CLA45 18
• AMG CLA35 8

Parts that come up most

Across these years, the parts named most often in CLA-Class campaigns are:

• Electrical system (6 campaigns)
• Air bags (5 campaigns)
• Service brakes, hydraulic (3 campaigns)
• Latches/locks/linkages (2 campaigns)
• Back over prevention (2 campaigns)

One campaign often covers several model years, so the same recall can appear under more than one year. Your VIN tells you which ones apply to your car.
