Mercedes-Benz windshield bonding may be insufficient and, as a result, the windshield may separate from the vehicle in a crash.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the passenger side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
The windshield bonding may be insufficient and, as a result, the windshield may separate from the vehicle in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and number 212, "Windshield Mounting."
If the windshield detaches in the event of a crash, the passenger frontal air bag may not be supported properly after it deploys, increasing the risk of injury.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the windshield, free of charge.
