Crash test ratings
NHTSA NCAP crash test ratings
New Car Assessment ProgramNCAP crash tests measure how well a vehicle protects occupants in controlled frontal crash, side crash, and rollover scenarios. Stars are awarded per category (5 = safest). These laboratory results are independent of owner complaints and are performed by NHTSA engineers on new production vehicles.
NCAP crash test ratings for this model are not yet loaded or this vehicle was not tested in the years analyzed. NHTSA tests a subset of new vehicles each year. Check nhtsa.gov/ratings directly for the latest results.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MERCEDES-BENZ CL550. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE CONTACT'S WIFE SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE LEFT ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MERCEDES-BENZ OF HANOVER (1877 WASHINGTON ST, HANOVER, MA 02339, (781) 924-4200) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT WIRES CONNECTED TO THE WIRING HARNESS WERE MELTED UNDER THE DASHBOARD, WHICH CAUSED THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AND AN ENGINEER WOULD BE SENT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
MERCEDES HAS A RECALL ON AIRBAGS THE DEFECT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.. THEY HAVE PUT OUT THAT STATEMENT BUT THEY HAVE NO AVAILABLE PARTAS TO FIX IT...WE BOUGHT A GL550 AND WE CAN NOT PUT ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THAT RECALL, WE CAN'T HAVE THE CAR REGISTERED,,,MERCEDES IS TELLING US THAT IT COULD BE 6 MONTHS OR MORE BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING,,SO FOR NOW WE HAVE 3 TONS OF METAL JUNK THAT WE SPEND $22,000 THOUSANDS ON.. WHAT TO DO????? PLEASE..
TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WE HAVE APPROACHED BOTH THE DEALER AND MERCEDES BENZ. THEY BOTH STATE THAT THEY CAN DO NOTHING AS THIS WHOLE RECALL IS BEING HANDLED AND MANAGED BY THE NHTSA AND THEY HAVE NO POWER TO DO ANYTHING. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS WILL BE SO ARE ASKING ME AND OTHER DRIVERS TO BEAR ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USING THIS CAR UNTIL THE NHTSA, YOUR AGENCY COMES UP WITH A SOLUTION. AS THE USER I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAG FAILS NEITHER NHTSA NOR MERCEDES BENZ WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY OR MY PASSENGERS INJURIES AND NEITHER THE NHTSA NOR MERCEDES BENZ FEEL UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO ASSIST IN MITIGATION OF THIS RISK. MERCEDES BENZ COMPLAINS THEY ARE UNABLE TO SELL CARS WITH THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND THIS SOMEHOW SHOULD MAKE ME FEEL THEY ARE IN THE SAME POSITION AS I AM. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS ANYTHING MORE THAN AN EVASION OF RESPONSIBILITY. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR THE CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER UNTIL SUCH TIME AS EITHER YOUR ORGANIZATION OR MERCEDES BENZ CAN PUT IT IN A SAFE CONDITION. I AM SURE MERCEDES BENZ IS STILL MAKING AND SELLING CARS WITH SAFE AIRBAGS TODAY YET WHILE THIS SEEMS TO BE OK WITH NHTSA. I THOUGHT NHTSA WOULD HAVE ENSURED THE PROBLEM CARS WOULD BE FIXED AT A FASTER RATE THAN MERCEDES BENZ WAS PERMITTED TO BUILD NEW CARS. IS IT A FACT THAT MERCEDES BENZ HAS NO POWER TO ASSIST OWNERS? IS IT A FACT THAT ALL DECISIONS AFFECTING MY CAR ARE MADE BY NHTSA AND NOT BY MERCEDES? IS IT TRUE THAT MERCEDES HAS NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE A SAFE ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE UNTIL THE DEFECTIVE CARS ARE FIXED? I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR ADVICE .

While the vehicle was parked in my garage, the gas fumes came into my home. The Gas Company was called out and found the smell coming from my Mercedes. I notice a strong smell of gas inside my Mercedes 2011 AMG-CL 65. I also notice the fuel gage decreased after a day. This could have caused a fire. I took the car to Calabasas Mercedes-Benz dealership and was told that this is common, but I see no recalls. After searching I found the 2011 Mercedes recall regarding fuel spill on E-Class, GL-Class, M-Class or R-Class.
On October 17, 2023, my vehicle experienced a significant issue—a fire incident—while I was leaving the garage of my house. According to the fire department & my insurance adjuster, it appeared that electrical components started the fire. Separately, on June 22, 2023, I was stuck inside the vehicle as I could not open the doors of the car. The batteries of the car had completely been drained, and the car was just jump-started by my insurance road-side assistant, but I turned off the engine (I was inside the car) forgetting about the fact that the car was not sufficiently being charged. Eventually the car was jump-started again, and I got out of the car safely. And, I had a local MB dealership replace both starter and ancillary batteries. Shouldn't car doors open regardless of the levels of the batteries left? What if the fire on Oct 17 had happened, and I could not escape from the car as I could not open the doors...
My back up just stops producing an image. I can restart the car and it might or might not come back on. For the most part the camera is on but I’ve been reading on all the MB forums this is a very common issue, with these W216 and also it’s sister car, the W221. The problem is, these were extremely low production vehicles and I’m sure not many are in existence now. I feel these 130-210k cars, shouldn’t have safety issues like this. I don’t mind paying for aging components but safety components should always be working properly. It concerns me because what if a neighborhood child were to dart out from behind and I hit them? The incident could have been prevented.

The basics
How to read this data
Complaints, recalls, investigations — here’s what each number actually tells you about a used Mercedes BENZ CL Class, in plain English.
What is an NHTSA Complaint?
An NHTSA safety complaint is a report filed directly by a vehicle owner or driver describing a safety-related issue. Anyone can submit a complaint at NHTSA.gov. The number of complaints is a signal of how common a problem is — but complaints per model-year matter more than raw totals, since popular vehicles naturally receive more reports. The Mercedes BENZ CL Class has 45 complaints on record across 10 model years.
What is a Safety Recall?
A safety recall is a mandatory campaign issued by NHTSA when a vehicle component poses an unreasonable risk to safety or does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards. Unlike complaints (which are owner-reported), recalls are formally investigated and confirmed by regulators. Manufacturers must fix recalled vehicles free of charge. The Mercedes BENZ CL Class has 0 recall campaigns in the NHTSA database.
What Are Crash Complaints?
Crash complaints are NHTSA filings where the owner indicates a crash occurred as part of the incident. 0 of the Mercedes BENZ CL Class's 45 complaints involved a crash. This metric is particularly important because it indicates how often defects resulted in actual collisions — a key safety signal beyond general reliability.
How Is the Reliability Verdict Calculated?
The reliability verdict (Average) is generated by analyzing the vehicle's total complaints, recall history, crash complaint ratio, fire complaint ratio, and top component failures relative to class averages. This verdict gives buyers a quick interpretation before they review year-level details and VIN-level history. It should be treated as one decision input, not a substitute for a VIN-specific report.
Why Do Newer Years Have Fewer Complaints?
Newer model years appear to have fewer complaints because there has been less time for owners to file them. Complaints accumulate over years of ownership. A 2020 model year vehicle will typically show fewer complaints than a 2015 model year even if it is less reliable — simply because fewer owners have had time to report issues. Focus on complaints per year of market presence when comparing across model years.
Fleet Data vs. Individual VIN
Everything on this page reflects aggregated data across all Mercedes BENZ CL Class vehicles on the road — not any specific car. Two Mercedes BENZ CL Class vehicles of the same year can have very different histories: one may have been in three accidents and have an open recall; another may be clean. A VIN check gives you the individual car's history: accidents, title brands, odometer records, service history, and real-time recall status.
What Are NHTSA Investigations?
When NHTSA receives a pattern of related safety complaints, it opens a formal investigation. A Preliminary Evaluation (PE) is the first stage — NHTSA determines if a safety defect may exist. If evidence is strong, it escalates to an Engineering Analysis (EA), which can result in a mandatory recall. The Mercedes BENZ CL Class has 0 investigations on record (0 active). Investigations listed above may have already led to the recalls shown on this page.
