## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the lock that secures the backrest on the left\-rear seat may be defective. As a result, cargo in the trunk could load the backrest in a crash and cause the lock to fail. If this happens, the seat backrest could tilt forward.

Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with rear seat backrests that can be unlocked electronically.

Safety Risk:

A backrest that tilts forward in a crash could increase the risk of injury.

Corrective Actions:

Mercedes\-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the backrest lock on the left\-rear seat. As a precautionary measure, you should avoid loading heavy items in the trunk until the recall repairs are completed.
