NHTSA recall 26V172000
Seat Belts · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The center rear seat belts may have been installed without the child seat protection function and fail to lock a child restraint properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 208, "occupant crash protection," and fmvss number 209, "seat belt assemblies."
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, an insufficiently restrained child has an increased risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the center rear seat belt assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 15, 2026.
