NHTSA Campaign 19V892000

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

Issued by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. · Reported Dec 16, 2019 · 129 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2015-2018 CLA250 and CLA250 4MATIC, and 2017-2018 CLA45 AMG vehicles. The Occupant Classification System (OCS) may have been improperly calibrated, which may prevent the proper deployment of the front passenger air bag.

Consequence

In the event of a crash, if the air bag does not deploy as designed, the front seat passenger has an increased risk of an injury.

Remedy

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger seat cushion, free of charge. The recall began July 31, 2020. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2020060012.
