Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2018565

15 October 2018

Transport Canada lists: Amg 2018

What is wrong

Certain Roadster(convertible) models may have been built with incorrect software in the airbag control unit, and may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. In the event of a lower speed crash, this could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than necessary, which could increase the risk of injury for an out-of-position passenger.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update and correct the airbag control unit software.

Transport Canada recall 2017641

19 December 2017

Transport Canada lists: Amg 2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the seat belt may bind within the seat belt guidance loop. If the seat belt were to bind, a slack in the seat belt may develop, which in the event of a crash, may not restrain the occupant as intended, and increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will remove the spacer disc in the seat belt guidance loop and add an additional sliding component to guide the belt.
