What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2017 model year vehicles including the C-Class, C-AMG, C63-AMG, GLC-Class, S-Class, S-AMG, and Mercedes-Maybach models due to a defect in the front seat seatbelt pretensioners. The pretensioners may not function properly during a crash, which could result in inadequate restraint of front seat occupants and increase the risk of injury.

Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 to determine if their vehicle is included in this recall and to schedule the replacement.
