Mercedes-Benz has recalled 20 GLC, GLC Coupe, and AMG GLC SUVs from model year 2026 because their rear seat belts may not properly lock a child restraint.
The company tells federal safety officials that vehicles built between Sept. 16 and 18 of 2025 may have the wrong seat belt installed in the rear center position. That belt lacks a feature that allows it to lock during installation of a child safety seat.
Most modern child seats use the LATCH restraint system, which does not require a seat belt. But some older child seat designs use the belt.
The company knows of no accidents or injuries related to the problem.
Dealers will inspect the belt and replace it if necessary to fix the issue.
As with all recall repairs, the fix is free. Manufacturers try to contact every owner, but don’t always reach all of them with the news. Find out if your car has ever been recalled at our recall center.
