Mercedes-Benz auxiliary lock on the sliding door may be the incorrect type for an electric sliding door.
The short version
Daimler Vans USA, LLC reported a problem with the doors lock. Here is what owners need to know.
The auxiliary lock on the sliding door may be the incorrect type for an electric sliding door. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."
In the event of a crash, the sliding door could dislocate more than intended, and increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will convert the sliding door from electric to manual function, free of charge.
