NHTSA recall 23V200000
Electrical System, Structure · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The bulkhead that separates the engine compartment from the passenger compartment may not have been properly sealed, causing water to drain into the passenger compartment. Water intrusion into the foot wells may cause corrosion and/or short circuits to electrical components, disabling safety features, including seat belt tightening and seat adjustments (presafe system).
Why it matters: Disabled safety features, including seat belt tightening and seat adjustments, can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will repair the bulkhead front wall sealing, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 12, 2023.
