Mercedes-Benz GLB Recalls (2020-2025)
The Mercedes-Benz GLB has been the subject of 25 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2020 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, air bags, and structure.
The Mercedes-Benz GLB scores 40 out of 100 (grade C), a roughly average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 88% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 12% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 25 campaigns span 4 model years of the Mercedes-Benz GLB. The single largest affected 1,292,258 vehicles, over communication. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common GLB problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Mercedes-Benz GLB may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.

- The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB has the most, with 19 recall campaigns on record. Older model years often pick up more recalls over time, since defects can surface years after a car is built.
- How do I check if my Mercedes-Benz GLB has an open recall?
- Enter your 17-digit VIN on the recall check page. It returns the recalls tied to your exact vehicle straight from NHTSA. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer, with no expiration on most safety recalls.
Recall data comes from NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. For how it is sourced and how the safety score is built, see the methodology and data sources. This page is a reference, not legal or safety advice.
