NHTSA recall 24V960000
Air Bags · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The mounting brackets near the roof may have sharp edges that can damage the side-curtain air bag during deployment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) numbers 214, "side impact protection," and 226, "ejection mitigation."
Why it matters: An air bag that is damaged during deployment can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and if necessary, replace the window airbags, and mounting brackets, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 7, 2025.
