Most reported problems

Recalls
Newest first. Each recall covers only certain vehicles, so not every 2014 200 is necessarily included.
- Seat Belts › Pretensioner (16V668), September 2016. About 1,435,625 vehicles are potentially affected across every model and year the recall names. The recall names these risks: a crash, injury, an air bag that may not work as intended. Dealers do the repair free of charge.[13]
