What this recall means for you
The front passenger airbag may have been improperly sewn, so its seam can tear when the airbag inflates. A torn airbag may not perform as designed in a crash, which increases the risk of injury to the passenger.
The remedy is free. Owners will be notified, and an authorized dealer will replace the passenger airbag at no cost. Owners can contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 for more information. Use your vehicle identification number (VIN) to check for open recalls.
