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.
