Transport Canada Recall - 2020256 - MERCEDES-BENZ
Brand(s)
Summary
Please see corrective actions section below
Affected products
2019 | MERCEDES-BENZ | METRIS
Issue
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the propeller shaft may not be properly attached to the intermediate bearing. As a result, the propeller shaft joint could wear out. This could cause vibrations that the airbag (SRS) control unit interprets as a crash and deploy the front airbags.
Safety Risk:
A sudden deployment of the front airbags without a crash could create a risk of injury. This could also startle the driver, which may lead to a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the propeller shaft and replace it, if necessary.
