What this recall means for you
The multi-purpose camera and rearview mirror on the windshield may not be attached securely and could come loose. If they detach, the front passenger airbag may not deploy properly, and driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, pedestrian-detecting braking, lane keeping, and traffic sign assist may be impaired. A failed airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury, and degraded assistance systems can increase the risk of a crash.
Authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers will replace the windshield and reinstall the camera and rearview mirror as needed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 31, 2023.
