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“.
