What this recall means for you
Some pillar covers on the A, B, and C pillars may have been installed incorrectly. This could interfere with how the side curtain airbags deploy, and the covers could detach during a crash.
If a side curtain airbag does not deploy as intended, or a pillar cover comes loose in a crash, the risk of injury increases. Owners should take this recall seriously and get the vehicle checked.
Mercedes-Benz will notify affected owners, and an authorized dealer will inspect the pillar covers and reinstall them if needed, at no cost to you.
