It is reported that the scope of Mercedes-Benz recall includes some imported GLESUV and GLS SUV vehicles produced between February 9, 2020 and June 2, 2020, a total of 7 vehicles. The reason for the recall is that some vehicles may not be fully assembled or installed with additional parts due to production deviations, which may increase the risk of injury to people in the event of a collision of the vehicle, do not meet the requirements of relevant national mandatory standards, and have safety hazards.
Mercedes-Benz (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. will inspect the seats on the affected vehicles by authorized dealers, performing the necessary rework of unqualified seats free of charge to eliminate safety hazards.
The recall will be of a total of 149 imported CLS, E-class, GLC SUV and S-class vehicles with production dates from August 4, 2020 to August 27, 2020. The reason for the recall is that due to production deviations in some vehicles, the locking card point of the electrical plug of the side impact sensor may not be qualified, and the possibility of the connector of the side impact sensor being loosened during the life cycle of the vehicle cannot be ruled out. If a vehicle has a side impact, this may cause the occupant restraint system to be activated delayed, resulting in a decrease in the restraint protection performance, an increased risk of occupant injury, and a safety hazard.
Mercedes-Benz (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. will check the card point of the side impact sensor on the door of the affected vehicle free of charge through the authorized dealer, and if it is missing, replace the side impact sensor to eliminate the safety hazard.
