I was not aware of such a thing but googling the issue I found out that NHTSA did start a campaign for this particular safety issue last year. Campaign No. 2024010012, March 20 https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-cla250 https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-cla250#complaint-2114843 Mon, 28 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The panoramic sunroof opens and closes but will not shut completely in the back. When calling around for a quote mechanics were aware of the issue occurring with this specific make model and class of vehicle.
