The defect
The software that determines the classification of the front passenger may not function correctly. This may result in an installed child seat being identified as a person, or a small lightweight person being identified as a child seat.
The hazard
This may result in the front passenger airbag being activated despite a child seat being installed, or the front passenger airbag being deactivated when there is a passenger. In both cases, the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant would be increased in the event of a crash requiring airbag deployment.
The remedy
Owners will be contacted by direct mail. Owners should contact their nearest Mercedes-Benz retailer to arrange an upgrade to the occupant classification software.
