Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2014 CLA-Class vehicles manufactured between September 10 and September 25, 2014, because fuses in the passenger side interior fuse box may have been incorrectly installed. If these fuses lose electrical contact, the front passenger seat occupancy recognition system, passenger side airbag indicator lamp, instrument cluster, and windshield wipers may malfunction. A loss of function in the occupancy recognition system or airbag indicator lamp could increase injury risk to passengers in a crash, while malfunctions to the instrument cluster and wipers could increase crash risk overall.
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by Mercedes-Benz USA. Dealers will inspect the fuses and replace the fuse box if necessary at no cost to the owner. The recall began on August 18, 2015. Owners can contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 or reference recall number 2015060007.
