What this recall means for you
The ISOFIX child seat anchoring system on the right-rear seat may be missing its right-side anchoring bar from the ISOFIX bracket. When this bar is absent, a child restraint cannot be properly secured using the ISOFIX system, which raises the risk of injury to a child riding in that seat.
If you own a affected vehicle, Mercedes-Benz USA will notify you by mail. Authorized dealers will inspect the right-rear ISOFIX bracket and replace it if necessary, at no cost to you. Until the repair is done, you may want to check whether your child seat is securely installed in that position.
