Recalls

Issue: On certain vehicles, the lock that secures the backrest on the left-rear seat may be defective.

As a result, cargo in the trunk could load the backrest in a crash and cause the lock to fail.

If this happens, the seat backrest could tilt forward.

Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with rear seat backrests that can be unlocked electronically.

Safety Risk: A backrest that tilts forward in a crash could increase the risk of injury.

Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the backrest lock on the left-rear seat.

As a precautionary measure, you should avoid loading heavy items in the trunk until the recall repairs are completed.
