What this recall means for you
A windshield on this vehicle may not have been bonded to the body correctly. Over time or in a crash, it could separate from the vehicle, which can affect how fully the front passenger airbag protects the occupant.
If the windshield separates, the passenger frontal airbag may not work as designed, which increases the risk of injury in a crash. Owners should treat this recall seriously and act on it promptly.
Mercedes-Benz USA will notify owners. An authorized dealer will inspect the windshield bonding and repair it as needed, at no cost. To check whether your vehicle is affected, contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 (recall number 2020080014), and check your VIN for open recalls.
