NHTSA recall 20V608000
Latches/Locks/Linkages · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2019 C300 vehicles. The center console lock-system might not lock properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 201, "occupant protection in interior impact."
Why it matters: In the event of a rear-end crash, the center console lid may open, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will check the center console storage compartment, and replace it, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 30, 2020.
