Mercedes-Benz recalls 125,000 cars for detaching sunroofs
These roofs may open a bit more than you'd likenearly 125,000 coupe and sedan models to address a potential defect with their sunroof panels that may allow them to detach from the vehicle while in motion. Broadly speaking, the campaign covers various 2001-2011 C-Class, CLK, E-Class, and CLS models — including AMG variants where applicable.
"Due to a production deviation at a supplier, glass panels might have been bonded without proper application and/or ventilation of the primer ," the automaker said in its defect notice."The correct usage of the primer is necessary in order to ensure the specified strength of the bonded joint. In this case, the adhesion of the bond might deteriorate gradually over time. Therefore, the specified durability requirements of the bond would not be guaranteed.
Here is the full list of models covered by the campaign, taken directly from the Mercedes-Benz recall notice:
