2 safety recalls on file for the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250.
On certain vehicles, moisture could enter the driver-side door lock microswitch and cause it to corrode. As a result, the microswitch may fail to automatically engage the parking brake and/or the auto park feature when the door is opened. If this happens, the vehicle could roll away.
Note: This problem could also cause the radio and/or interior lights to remain on after exiting the vehicle.
A parked vehicle that rolls away could create the risk of an injury or a crash.
To reduce the safety risk, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you should always use the parking brake when you park. Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver-side door lock.

On one vehicle, the front passenger seat belt buckle may become blocked after the automatic locking retractor (ALR) is used. As a result, the front passenger may not be able to use the seat belt.
Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
In the interim, if this problem happens, to reduce the safety risk, Mercedes-Benz advises that you can move the front passenger seat to the rearmost position to unblock the seat belt buckle until the recall repairs are completed. Mercedes-Benz will notify the owner by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to replace the front passenger seat belt.
