What this recall means for you
The dashboard surface on certain vehicles may not be properly secured to its base material. This means the dashboard covering can come loose from the structure underneath it.
In a crash where the passenger airbag deploys, an unsecured dashboard could interfere with the airbag's inflation, increasing the risk of injury to the front passenger.
The repair is free. Dealers will replace the dashboard at no charge. Owners will be notified by Mercedes-Benz USA, or can call customer service at 1-800-367-6372 (recall number 2021030003). You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
