NHTSA recall 18V839000
Seat Belts · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: A correctly fastened seatbelt may be inaccurately detected as being unfastened, preventing the seat belt pre-tensioners from activating in the event of a crash.
Why it matters: If the seat belt tensioning does not activate in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat belt buckles, free of charge. The recall began March 18, 2019.
