Use Your 17-Digit U.S. VIN for Mercedes-Benz Recall Checks

The official Mercedes-Benz website has a recall lookup resource that is able to look up potential recalls for your vehicle model. Simply enter your 17-digit U.S.-based Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to see the most complete and up-to-date information on current or previous recalls. If you have trouble, give us a call, and we can assist you in finding your VIN and identifying potential recalls! This online tool will not work for non-U.S. VINs.

Where Do I Find My VIN?

• Low on the driver’s side doorjamb
• Listed inside your vehicle’s registration and title documentation

If you discover that your vehicle is included in a current or past Mercedes-Benz U.S. recall campaign, all you need to do is bring it to a certified Mercedes-Benz service center like the one in Lake Forest, CA, to have the necessary repairs carried out by a factory-trained technician. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandates that dealerships must not impose any fees for recall services, so servicing these repairs and replacements is completely free to you!
