Air Bag ‘Out-of-Position’ Setting/FMVSS 208

In the event of a crash that necessitates air bag deployment, if the air bag does not deploy as intended, there would be an increased risk of occupant injury.

 

Summary

Mercedes-BenzeBay logo USA LLC, (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2017 E300 and E300 4Matic vehicles.

The front passenger air bag may not deploy properly if a front seat passenger is sitting on the edge of the seat or is laying in the seat with the seat reclined.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”

 

Remedy

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will update the air bag control module software, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin in April 2017.

Owner’s can contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
