The air bag system that protects occupants in a crash may malfunction, causing unintended air bag deployment, or may not deploy the air bags in the event of an accident where they are needed to protect occupants. This increases the risk of injury.
Recalls on your Mercedes-Benz must be performed by a Mercedes-Benz dealership. Mercedes-Benz notified owners of affected vehicles beginning in December, 2015. If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Mercedes-Benz dealerships. They will also check for any other uncompleted recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with.
