NHTSA campaign 16V935000
Hazard
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain model year 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris Vans manufactured September 9, 2016, to September 28, 2016. The affected vehicles have a passenger air bag that may have been manufactured with an incorrect Tether Activation Unit (TAU). As a result, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the air bag may not vent properly.
Consequence
An improperly vented air bag may not protect the front passenger as expected, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
DVUSA will notify owners, and authorized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter dealers will replace the front passenger air bag, free of charge. The recall began February 8, 2017. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267.
