The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the sensor occupant classification. Here is what owners need to know.
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) may not be properly calibrated, resulting in the front passenger air bag not being deactivated if a child seat is in the front seat.
If a child seat is in the front seat and the passenger air bag is not deactivated, in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger seat cushion, free of charge.
