What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2018-2019 GLC63 AMG Coupe, GLC63S AMG Coupe, and GLC63 vehicles because the frontal passenger air bag may deploy with a delay during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to unbelted front seat passengers. This delay does not meet federal safety standards for occupant crash protection.

To address this issue, authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers will update the air bag control unit software parameters at no charge. Owners who believe their vehicle is affected should contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 and reference recall number 2019020004.
