Old Mercedes Vito and Viano vans may still have dangerous airbags

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 222,969 vehicles of the Vito/Viano (BR 639) model series manufactured between 3. 12. 2002 and 24. 2. 2006 with earlier replacement of driver airbag during workshop visit. The recall is due to a fault in the gas generator of the driver’s airbag that may lead to uncontrolled deployment when the airbag is deployed and to the release of metal fragments which can injure the occupants.

At an authorised workshop, the airbag is checked and replaced again, if necessary.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “15198R“. The internal manufacturer code is “9192111, 9192112“.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.

If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
