Mercedes Benz Sprinter: Seatbelt Mechanism May Malfunction

Recalling firm
MERCEDES BENZ UK LIMITED
Product
Vehicles: MERCEDES BENZ SPRINTER. Units affected: 45
Reason
The threaded connections of the seatbelts at the B-Pillars were possibly not tightened with the required torque. If the required torque is not present it is possible the threaded connection may loosen further. In the event of a loosened threaded connection the intended restraint effect of the seat belt cannot be guaranteed in the event of a collision and the risk of injury during an event may possibly be increased. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check and where necessary tighten the threaded connection.
