Mercedes-Benz housing for the driver side air bag inflator may have been made with defective steel.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the driver side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
The housing for the driver side air bag inflator may have been made with defective steel. In the event of an air bag deployment, the defective steel may cause the inflator to improperly inflate the driver-side air bag and potentially rupture.
In the event of a crash involving driver air bag deployment, an improperly inflated air bag and/or an inflator rupture with sharp metal fragments might result in serious injury or death to the driver or to occupants.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driver air bag module, free of charge.
