Mercedes-Benz Tourrider Premium Recall 25V144: Driver's seat may fold forward in a crash

NHTSA campaign 25V144, reported March 5, 2025, 162 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

This recall covers certain 2022-2025 Mercedes-Benz Tourrider Business and Premium buses. A fixate stop bracket on the driver's seat backrest may not have been installed, so the vehicles do not fully meet federal seating and seat belt anchorage safety standards.

Without that bracket, the driver's seat backrest may fold forward during a crash, which increases the risk of injury.

Daimler Coaches North America will inspect the driver's seat and install a fixate stop where needed, free of charge at an authorized dealer. Owners were notified by mail on May 12, 2025, and can call Daimler Coaches at 1-416-624-3558. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your bus is affected.
