2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250; 2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2018-2019 GLA-250 and GLA-250 4MATIC vehicles because an incorrect rear seat back covering carpet may have been installed. This defect can cover the child seat anchorage point (top tether) in the center position of the rear seat, making it inaccessible and preventing the child seat from being secured as intended. This increases the risk of injury to a child in the event of a crash.
To remedy the issue, Mercedes will notify owners and dealers will inspect the rear seat back covering carpet on affected vehicles and replace it if necessary at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mercedes-Benz customer service at 1-800-367-6372 to schedule an appointment. The recall number is 2019030003.
