NHTSA recall 20V671000
Seat Belts · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz ag USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2021 Amg GLE53, Amg GLE63, 2020 gle580, 2020-2021 Gle350 and Gle450 vehicles with 5 passenger seating. While buckling the seat belt, the middle seat belt buckle could be pushed down into the gap below the seat cushion. If the buckle can't be retrieved, the buckle latch will be inoperable and unable to restrain an occupant.
Why it matters: An unrestrained occupant has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will secure the middle seat belt buckle, free of charge. The recall began December 18, 2020.
