The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the seat belts. Here is what owners need to know.
A correctly fastened seatbelt may be inaccurately detected as being unfastened, preventing the seat belt pre-tensioners from activating in the event of a crash.
If the seat belt tensioning does not activate in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat belt buckles, free of charge.
