Mercedes-Benz recalls 150 cars of V-Class

Mercedes-Benz Rus has announced the recall of 151 Mercedes-Benz V-Class cars manufactured from January to February 2019. The reason for the recall is that when the front passenger airbag is deployed, a plastic cover may come off, behind which there is an airbag. It cannot be ruled out that, due to this, the correct holding effect of the front passenger airbag will be not guaranteed.

In addition, the entire cover or parts of it can be thrown out of the dashboard into the passenger compartment, which will increase the risk of injury to people in the car, the press service of Rosstandart informed. A dashboard will be replaced in all vehicles. All works will be free for owners.

Recall, this is the second recallable campaign of Mercedes-Benz cars since the beginning of the year. So, earlier, Mercedes-Benz Rus announced the recall of 4 Mercedes-Benz X-Class pickups produced in July of 2018. As AUTOSTAT previously reported, at the end of 2019, Russian Mercedes-Benz dealers sold 1,767 V-Class cars.
