Why it matters

A seat belt that detaches in a crash could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the rear seat belt attachment bolts.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the wrong fabric may have been used for the passenger-front airbag cushion. As a result, the passenger-front airbag may not inflate properly in a crash.

Why it matters

An airbag that does not inflate properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you shouldn't transport a passenger in the front passenger seat until the recall repairs have been completed. Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the passenger-front airbag.
