Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd
Recall date: 17 September 2018
The software that determines the classification of the front passenger may not function correctly. This may result in an installed child seat being identified as a person, or a small lightweight person being identified as a child seat.
This may result in the front passenger airbag being activated despite a child seat being installed, or the front passenger airbag being deactivated when there is a passenger. In both cases, the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant would be increased in the event of a crash requiring airbag deployment.
Consumers should contact their nearest Mercedes-Benz passenger car dealer to arrange an inspection and repair of the vehicle free of charge. To find your nearest Mercedes-Benz dealer, visit https://www.dealerlocator.mercedes-benz.com.au/?utm_source=bing&utm_medi
