Mercedes-Benz Seats And Restraints Recall #2018541

On certain vehicles, the seatbelt latch plate in the second seating row outboard seats might retract into the area between the C-pillar paneling and the rear side paneling.

This could hinder the access to the seatbelt latch plate for the outboard seat occupants.

If a rear seat passenger does not fasten the seatbelt, the risk of injury in the event of a crash could increase.

Correction: Dealers will add a buffer element to the C-pillar paneling.

Note: This is an expansion of recall 2018-136.
