NHTSA recall 18V177000
Seat Belts, Structure · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The seat belt latch plates (the parts that insert into the buckles) for the outboard rear seats may retract into the interior paneling, preventing the occupants from being able to use the seat belts.
Why it matters: If the rear seat passengers cannot fasten their seat belts, they have an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will install a buffer to the c-pillar paneling, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin May 14, 2018.
