Although correctly fastened, the front seat belts may be inaccurately detected as being unfastened, which may cause the electric PRE\-SAFE®\-function and the pretensioner to be deactivated.


## What can happen

The electric PRE\-SAFE®\-function and the seat belt pretensioners may not deploy during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front seat belt buckles, replacing them as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began March 13, 2020.  Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1\-800\-367\-6372.  MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020020017.
