Mercedes-Benz rear seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC reported a problem with the rear/other retractor. Here is what owners need to know.
The rear seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect, and replace as necessary, the rear seat belt assemblies, free of charge.
