NHTSA recall 16V935000

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have a passenger air bag that may have been manufactured with an incorrect tether activation unit (tau). As a result, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the air bag may not vent properly.

Why it matters: An improperly vented air bag may not protect the front passenger as expected, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dvusa will notify owners, and authorized Mercedes-Benz sprinter dealers will replace the front passenger air bag, free of charge. The recall began February 8, 2017.
