Mercedes Benz E-class: Rear Seat Belt Pre-tensioners May Fail To Restrain Occupants As Intended
Recall Summary Mercedes-Benz is recalling 3,400 E-Class vehicles because the rear seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work properly in a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to rear seat occupants. The rear seatbelts will still lock normally, but the pre-tensioner ignitors that tighten the belts during impact may fail. Affected vehicle owners will have their rear seatbelts replaced.
