What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened
Your vehicle's driver's side airbag has a critical component called the inflator module. This part helps deploy the airbag during a crash. In some affected models, this module can be faulty and rupture when the airbag deploys.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator ruptures, metal fragments could fly into your face or body, causing serious injury or even death. This is a life-threatening situation that could happen in a severe crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty driver's side airbag module for free. This is a no-cost repair that you should schedule as soon as you receive the recall notice from Mercedes-Benz or Fiat Chrysler.
