NHTSA recall 17V076000
Air Bags · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The front passenger occupant detection control unit may have been incorrectly installed. As a result, the front passenger seat occupant may be misclassified. For example, an adult may be misclassified as a child seat, causing the front passenger air bag to be deactivated in the event of a crash.
Why it matters: If the passenger front air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of a injury.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the routing of the pressure hose of the seat occupancy detection control unit and replace the pressure hose and seat occupancy detection mat if necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 2017.
