Component
AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION
Manufacturer
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
What Happened
Your vehicle's passenger air bag sensor might not work properly, which means the air bag might not turn on or off when it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag doesn't work correctly in a crash, you could get hurt because it might not deploy or deploy too late.
Free Fix
A Mercedes-Benz dealership will update the sensor software and possibly replace the passenger seat cushion at no cost to you, and you'll be notified when it's ready.

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2017 AMG GT & AMG GT-C Roadster and 2018 AMG GT-S & GT Roadster vehicles equipped with AMG Performance Seats. The passenger occupant classification system (OCS) might not function properly, possibly causing the passenger frontal air bag to be incorrectly deactivated or incorrectly activated in the event of a crash.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A passenger air bag that is incorrectly activated or deactivated in the event of a crash increases the risk of injury due to potential incorrect airbag deployment or non-deployment.
Original — Remedy
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, and if necessary, replace the passenger seat cushion, free of charge. Owners will be notified of the recall in January 2018 and they will receive a second letter when the parts become available, currently expected to be in February 2018.
