| 2021514 | 2021-08-16. Airbag. Issue: On certain vehicles, an incorrect passenger-front airbag may have been installed during a previous repair. As a result, the airbag may not inflate properly in a crash. Safety Risk: An airbag that does not inflate properly can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Action: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealer to replace the passenger-front airbag. |

| 2018741 | 2018-12-28. Airbag. On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag module. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected. |
| 2017490 | 2017-10-10. Airbag. On certain vehicles, electrostatic discharge, when combined with a broken clock spring and insufficient grounding of the steering components, could lead to an inadvertent deployment of the driver's frontal airbag. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will add sufficient grounding to the steering components. Note: A broken clock spring would result in a driver airbag warning message appearing in the instrument cluster, as well as a red airbag warning lamp illuminating. |
| 2017206 | 2017-04-11. Airbag. Certain vehicles may have been equipped with airbag igniters that do not meet specifications. This could cause the affected airbags to fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash (where deployment is warranted), which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Correction: Dealers will replace the affected passenger frontal airbag, knee airbag or window airbag. |
| 2017142 | 2017-03-15. Airbag. Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. Certain airbag control units may have been programmed incorrectly. In the event of a low speed crash warranting first stage deployment of the driver's or passenger's frontal airbags, the airbag may incorrectly deploy the second (higher impact) stage. If a front seat occupant was unbelted and out of position, the risk of injury to that occupant could be increased. Correction: Dealers will update the airbag control unit. |
| 2017058 | 2017-02-09. Airbag. On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupancy detection control unit might be incorrectly installed. This could result in a kinked pressure hose when the seat is moved towards the rearmost and lowest position, which could lead to the misclassification of a seat occupant. The occupant could be incorrectly reclassified as a child seat, and in the event of a crash warranting airbag deployment, could increase the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will check the routing of the pressure hose of the seat occupancy detection control unit and replace the pressure hose and seat occupancy detection mat if necessary. |
| 2017057 | 2017-02-09. Airbag. Certain vehicles may have been equipped with driver and passenger pelvis airbags and/or a passenger frontal airbag that does not meet specifications. This could cause affected airbags to fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash warrants airbag deployment, which could increase the risk of injury to the occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace affected airbag modules. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
