Mercedes Benz Actros Range: Seat Base May Crack
Recall Summary Mercedes Benz is recalling approximately 150 vehicles from the Actros, Arocs, and Antos ranges because the front radius angles of the driver and passenger seat bases may not have been formed correctly, which could cause stress cracks. These cracks could weaken the seat base and compromise its structural integrity during a rear-end collision, particularly affecting the integrated seat belt system. The remedy involves replacing the affected driver and passenger seat bases.
