## What is wrong

Daimler Vans USA, LLC \(DVUSA\) is recalling certain 2019 Mercedes\-Benz and Freightliner Spinter vans \(platform 970 \(VS30\)\), equipped with swivel seats.  The wiring harnesses for the front seats may have been routed incorrectly and could become jammed and damaged in the swivel seat frames.


## What can happen

If the wiring harness is damaged, the side air bag within the seat may deploy inadvertently or not deploy as designed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.


## The remedy

DVUSA will notify owners, and an authorized Mercedes\-Benz or Freightliner Sprinter dealer will inspect the wire harness routing for both front seats and will repair the wiring and add clips or cable ties as needed, free of charge.  The recall began August 24, 2020.  Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1\-877\-762\-8267.  DVUSA's number for this recall is VS3DREHSIK.
