2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class — reported problems

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (456 records, model years 2006–2023) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, tires & wheels and brakes.
• Safety recalls (115 records, model years 2006–2023) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors).
• Transport Canada recalls (110 records, model years 2006–2023) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, fuel system and body & structure.
• Manufacturer communications (2,419 records, model years 2006–2023) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle

These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.

A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
