Transport Canada Recall - 2017058 - MERCEDES-BENZ
Brand(s)
Summary
Please see corrective actions section below
Affected products
2017 | MERCEDES-BENZ | E CLASS
Issue
On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupancy detection control unit might be incorrectly installed. This could result in a kinked pressure hose when the seat is moved towards the rearmost and lowest position, which could lead to the misclassification of a seat occupant. The occupant could be incorrectly reclassified as a child seat, and in the event of a crash warranting airbag deployment, could increase the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will check the routing of the pressure hose of the seat occupancy detection control unit and replace the pressure hose and seat occupancy detection mat if necessary.
