DATANot crash-tested
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class has not been evaluated by NHTSA for crashworthiness. Without federal crash-test ratings, no Safety Index score can be computed, leaving a gap in the published safety profile for this model year. The recall and complaint record is notably sparse, with zero open campaigns and only four owner complaints on file. This suggests a low burden in those areas, but the absence of crash-test data means the vehicle's structural safety performance remains unassessed by federal standards.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries zero recall campaigns, and falls in the Light recall and complaint burden band, according to NHTSA data.
