2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 GLA250

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 is identified by the VIN decoder as a gasoline-powered SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged M270 engine rated at 208 hp and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz in Germany. The drivetrain was not specified in the available decoding data. Visible damage is concentrated at the right rear. The right rear quarter panel, below and forward of the taillight, has a large area of scraped and abraded red paint, with light-colored transfer marks and linear gouges extending toward the lower quarter panel and wheel-arch area. The right rear taillight lens has light linear surface scuffs, although the lens is visibly present. Additional light scraping and paint abrasion are visible on the right rear bumper corner, its lower edge near the wheel arch, and on the rear bumper below the liftgate. These findings indicate localized cosmetic and collision-related damage; the available findings do not establish the full extent of any underlying damage or the specific cause. NHTSA records identify five recalls applicable to certain vehicles of this make, model, and year. Four concern the emergency-call communication system, including software or module deactivation issues that could disable or misdirect eCall. One concerns possible fuel-rail and injector leakage, which may increase fire risk. Another concerns the bonding of a front roof panel on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof, which could allow the panel to detach if improperly bonded during a prior repair. Recall remedy completion should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number.
