REC-003818

active

0 Mercedes-Benz 190 AMG GT

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Mercedes-Benz Australia Pacific

Recall date: 4 January 2018

Defect

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.

Hazard

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.

Remedy

Owners will be contacted by direct mail. Owners should contact their nearest Mercedes-Benz retailer to arrange an upgrade to the occupant classification software.
