Mercedes-Benz Airbag Recall #2013190

Recall date June 3, 2013
Models affected
  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK
Units affected 10
Details

On certain vehicles, the passenger seat Occupant Classification System may malfunction and could misinterpret a child seat as a small stature person, thereby not deactivating the passenger frontal airbag and not illuminating the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" warning light.

This could result in an unwarranted airbag deployment in a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury to a child located in the passenger seating position.

Note: Within 50 meters of driving distance, the occupant classification system would automatically reevaluate the occupant classification and correct the issue.

Correction: Dealers will verify the proper operation of the Occupant Classification System, and affect repairs if necessary.
