NHTSA recall 14V386000
Air Bags · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Due to an air bag assembly error, the front passenger air bag may not deploy properly.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash necessitating front passenger air bag deployment, the front passenger seat airbag may not properly deploy, increasing the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant.
The fix: Mercedes-benz will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag, free of charge. Mercedes-benz distributed an interim letter to owners on July 17, 2014. A second owner letter was mailed after parts became available in mid August 2014.
