A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.

- Period mentioned
- Built from 1/10/2017 to 30/4/2018
- Symptoms
- After locking and unlocking the car with the remote key, the left-hand doors stay locked: they cannot be opened from outside or inside.
- Possible cause described
- The locks on those doors are faulty. It is UK recall R/2018/268 (Mercedes SRPC1839, 5,030 cars across the SL, SLC, CLA and B-Class built from 1/10/2017 to 30/4/2018).
- Check for the garage
- Ask a Mercedes-Benz dealer, with the VIN, whether your car has this recall outstanding: they replace the left-hand door locks free of charge. Until then, bear in mind that whoever sits on that side may not be able to get out on their own.
- Cost cited in the source
