What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2019 GLC model vehicles because the passenger side sun visor air bag warning labels may be printed in a foreign language instead of English. This creates a hazard because occupants may not understand the risks associated with children sitting in the front seat, potentially increasing injury risk in a crash. The affected models include the GLC 300 4MATIC coupe, AMG GLC 43 Coupe, AMG GLC 43, AMG GLC 63, GLC 300, GLC 350e 4MATIC, GLC 300 4MATIC, AMG GLC 63 Coupe, and AMG GLC 63 S Coupe.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 using recall number 2020020014. The company will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the air bag warnings and replace them at no cost if necessary. The recall began on March 3, 2020.
