NHTSA recall 16V829000
Seat Belts · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The seat belt extenders on the affected vehicles may not retract as intended and may potentially break the event of a crash.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, if the seat belt extender does not retract and/or the extender breaks, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will update the control unit software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in mid-December 2016.
