Mercedes-Benz center rear seat belts may have been installed without the child seat protection function and fail to lock a child restraint properly.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC reported a problem with the seat belts rear/other. Here is what owners need to know.
The center rear seat belts may have been installed without the child seat protection function and fail to lock a child restraint properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," and FMVSS number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
In the event of a crash, an insufficiently restrained child has an increased risk of injury.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the center rear seat belt assembly, free of charge.
