Details

What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2020 GLB 250 vehicles. The window air bag in the a-pillar area may not be mounted correctly, affecting its performance. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 226, "ejection mitigation."

Why it matters: In the event of a crash that deploys the window air bag, the catch strap could disconnect and increase the risk of injury.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will check the mounting of the window air bag and correct it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 30, 2020.
