NHTSA recall 21V032000
Seat Belts · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The front seat belts might not fully retract to their stowed position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 208, "occupant crash protection."
Why it matters: If the seat belt does not fully retract, the occupant may find the operation of the seat belt inconvenient and not wear it, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will check the retraction function of the front seat belts and adjust the damping foam within the b-pillars, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 26, 2021.
