Mercedes-Benz affected vehicles have a passenger air bag that may have been manufactured with an incorrect Tether Activation Unit (TAU).
The short version
Daimler Vans USA, LLC reported a problem with the passenger side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
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.
An improperly vented air bag may not protect the front passenger as expected, increasing the risk of injury.
DVUSA will notify owners, and authorized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter dealers will replace the front passenger air bag, free of charge.
