Only two vehicle recall notices have been issued this week, both coming from recall expert Mercedes-Benz.

 

The first relates to 2018-2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, CLS, E-Class and GLC models (VINs found here) for a fault with the seat belts.

 

Affected vehicles may have the front seat belt buckle housing incorrectly manufactured leading to a correctly-fastened seatbelt detected as not fastened. This will cause the seat belt warning light to remain illuminated and the warning sound to persist when the vehicle is moving. It may also prevent the seatbelt tensioning system from functioning properly.

 

Also recalled this week were 2019-2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE vehicles (VINs found here) which may have weld seams on the rear bumper cross member that do not meet the required specification.

 

Should the vehicle breakdown, the rear towing eye used for winching the vehicle onto a tow truck may crack in the weld seams and the rear cross member may detach from the vehicle.

 

For both recalls, affected owners are asked to contact their preferred Mercedes-Benz dealer for a free inspection and repair of their vehicle.
