Mercedes-benz Vans Vito: Check Driver's Airbag Replace If Necessary
Mercedes-Benz Vito Airbag Recall Summary Mercedes-Benz is recalling 17,349 Vito vans in the UK because some driver's airbags may be defective units from Takata that were installed during previous replacements. If these airbags deploy in a crash, they may not work properly and could scatter inflator parts that could injure occupants. Dealers will inspect the airbags and replace them if needed.
