What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2019 C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, and Mercedes-Maybach S-Class vehicles because the seat belt buckles may not correctly detect when a seat belt is fastened. This defect can prevent the seat belt pre-tensioners from activating during a crash, which increases the risk of injury to occupants.

MBUSA will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will replace the seat belt buckles at no cost. The recall began on March 18, 2019. Owners of affected vehicles should contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 and reference recall number 2019020012 to schedule their replacement.
