SEAT BELTS Safety Recalls

High Priority #21V483000 Plain English
Component

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:RETRACTOR

Manufacturer
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
What Happened
The rear seat belt in your vehicle has a part called the retractor, which helps keep your child safe in their car seat. In some 2021-2022 models, this retractor might stop working too soon, which could prevent your child's car seat from being securely fastened.
Risk if Unfixed
If the retractor fails, your child's car seat might not be secure during a crash, which could increase the risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Mercedes-Benz dealer will inspect and replace the rear seat belt assembly if it's not working properly – at no cost to you. You should contact your dealer to confirm repair availability and schedule the service.
