The recall is a matrix, not a date range

NHTSA recall 26V481 covers 310,667 US vehicles whose door-lock microswitch can corrode. The report lists different model-year windows for A-Class, CLA, C-Class, CLE, GLA, GLB and GLC variants; applying 2019–2026 to every family would both add unrelated cars and omit covered families.

NHTSA records 176 US field cases related to comfort-function behaviour and reports no US rollaway cases.

Grouped variants; VIN remains decisive.

What the Georgian matches show

63 listings match the recall’s family-by-model-year rows. GLC 300 variants account for 18, C 300 variants for 11 and GLA 250 variants for 12; the rest are spread across A, CLA, CLE, GLB and other listed variants.

A model name and year cannot identify production plant, equipment or build date.

What an owner should do

Check the VIN with NHTSA and with an authorised Mercedes-Benz service channel. Remedy availability and campaign coverage outside the United States must be confirmed locally.

Passenger-car listings as of 3 August 2026. Family × model-year rows follow NHTSA 26V481. Only a VIN check can identify an affected vehicle.
