## What is wrong

Mercedes\-Benz USA, LLC \(MBUSA\) is recalling certain 2020\-2021 CLA, 2019\-2022 A\-Class, 2022\-2023 C\-Class, 2024 CLE, 2020\-2026 GLA/GLB, and 2023\-2024 GLC vehicles. Please refer to MBUSA's recall report for specific model information. The micro\-switch in the driver's door lock may corrode and fail to detect an open door, preventing the electronic parking brake or "Auto\-Park" feature from engaging automatically. This may result in a vehicle rollaway.


## What can happen

A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash or injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the driver's door lock, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 18, 2026. This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1\-800\-367\-6372. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning July 31, 2026.
