## What is wrong

Daimler Vans USA, LLC \(DVUSA\) is recalling certain model year 2017 Mercedes\-Benz Metris Vans manufactured September 9, 2016, to September 28, 2016.  The affected vehicles have a passenger air bag that may have been manufactured with an incorrect Tether Activation Unit \(TAU\).  As a result, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the air bag may not vent properly.


## What can happen

An improperly vented air bag may not protect the front passenger as expected, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

DVUSA will notify owners, and authorized Mercedes\-Benz Sprinter dealers will replace the front passenger air bag, free of charge.  The recall began February 8, 2017.  Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1\-877\-762\-8267.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
