What happened

Daimler Vans USA, LLC is recalling certain 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris Vans manufactured between September 9, 2016, and September 28, 2016. These vehicles have a passenger-side air bag that may have been manufactured with an incorrect Tether Activation Unit, which could prevent the air bag from venting properly in a crash. An improperly vented air bag may not protect the front passenger as expected, increasing the risk of injury.

To remedy this issue, authorized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter dealers will replace the front passenger air bag at no cost. Owners of affected vehicles should contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267 to arrange a replacement.
