Mercedes-Benz A-Class recalls

Known and open recall campaigns for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, from EU market registers. Each source is shown on its own. Recalls apply to production windows, so check the dates against the specific car. This is advisory, not a per-VIN history.

EU Safety Gate: 247 KBA (DE): 64 RDW NL: 6.6% open

KBA (Germany) campaigns

Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, the German federal vehicle authority. 64 logged. Shown separately from Safety Gate, never added together.

How this compares

Among the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class ranks #18 by overall signal strength. Its 247 EU Safety Gate campaigns are more than the median of 17 for this set. Its 64 KBA campaigns are more than the median of 34. Its RDW open-recall share is more than the 6.6% median.

Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.
