The crash sensors on the ‘B’ pillars were not screwed correctly into place in the vehicles affected. In the event of a side impact this might possibly result in the side restraint systems being triggered either too late or not at all, possibly leading to an increased risk of injury for the driver and passengers.
The recall affects vehicles manufactured between 15 and 21 October 2014 .
Models C 180, C 180 Bluetec, C 200, C 200 Bluetec, C 220 Bluetec, C 250 Bluetec, C 250 Bluetec 4 Matic are affected.

This notification is purely informative for the vehicle type you have selected. As these deficiencies often relate to specific components (engine type, bodywork, equipment), the recall may not apply to all vehicles of this type. For more detailed information on possible recalls for your vehicle, please get in touch with an authorised workshop (see below at "What the owner should do?").
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 Mercedes-Benz 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.
