Details

What's wrong: Mercedes-benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling a 2019 s450 vehicle. The a, b, and c pillar covers may have been improperly installed, possibly affecting the deployment of the side curtain air bags and allowing the covers to detach in the event of a crash.

Why it matters: If a side curtain air bag does not deploy as intended, or the pillar covers detach during a crash, there is an increased risk of injury.

The fix: Mbusa will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect the pillar covers, reinstalling them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began September 13, 2019.
