## What is wrong

Daimler Vans USA, LLC \(DVUSA\) is recalling certain 2016 Mercedes\-Benz Metris vehicles.  The affected vehicles have front seat seatbelt pretensioners that may not function properly in the event of a crash.


## What can happen

If the front seat seatbelt pretensioners do not function properly, the seat occupants may not be adequately restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front seat belts, free of charge.  An interim notification was mailed to owners on June 9, 2017.  A second notice was mailed on July 7, 2017, to tell owners that the remedy is now available.  Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1\-877\-762\-8267.
