Mercedes-Benz has recalled more than 134,000 vehicles because the sunroof glass may not be secure and could detach from the vehicles.

Mercedes said the bonding between the glass sunroof panel and the sliding roof frame might not meet specifications.

The Mercedes sunroof recall is an expansion of a December 2019 sunroof recall.

These 2001-2011 vehicles are affected by the expanded sunroof recall.

"Due to a production deviation at a supplier, glass panels might have been bonded without proper application and/or ventilation of the primer (bonding agent). The correct usage of the primer is necessary in order to ensure the specified strength of the bonded joint," Mercedes-Benz said.

Mercedes opened an investigation in December 2017 based on sunroof reports outside the U.S. Owners said the sliding roof panels detached from the vehicles, although no damage or injuries were reported.
