Mercedes-Benz seat belt latch plates (the parts that insert into the buckles) for the outboard rear seats may retract into the interior paneling, preventing the occupants from being able to use the seat belts.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the rear/other buckle assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The seat belt latch plates (the parts that insert into the buckles) for the outboard rear seats may retract into the interior paneling, preventing the occupants from being able to use the seat belts.
If the rear seat passengers cannot fasten their seat belts, they have an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will install felt strips between the C-pillar and rear side paneling, free of charge.
