What this recall means for you
Certain seat belts in these vehicles may bind within their guidance loops. When this happens, slack can develop in the belt through occupant movement, so the belt may not hold the occupant as intended.
If a seat belt has developed slack, the occupant may suffer greater personal injury in a crash.
Mercedes-Benz USA will notify owners, and authorized dealers will reconfigure the seat belt guides free of charge. Owners can contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-877-496-3691 and should check their VIN for any open recalls.
