Issue
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the springs that lock the backrest for the third-row seat may not have been installed correctly. As a result, the seat backrest may not fully lock in place.
Safety Risk:
A seat backrest that isn't locked could move in a crash and increase the risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the third-row seat, and replace the backrest if necessary. To reduce the safety risk, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you should not transport any passengers in the third-row seat until the recall repairs have been completed.
