Transport Canada recall 2020248

A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles equipped with front swivel-seats, the wiring harness under the seat may not be properly secured. As a result, the wiring harness could be damaged when the seat is moved. If this happens, the side airbag may not work properly in a crash. It could also cause the side airbag to deploy suddenly without a crash.

Note: If the wiring to the side airbag is damaged, the SRS light will stay on in the instrument cluster.

Safety Risk:

An airbag that does not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the routing of the seat wiring harness. The dealer will add clips or cable ties to properly secure the wiring harness to the seat, if necessary.
