The riveting of the front seat belt housing covers may be inadequate under low temperatures (below -17.5°C). In the event of an accident, the rivets could fail and release the housing cover. This can result in a loss of the seat belt’s restraining effect, increasing the risk of injury.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS models affected by this recall were manufactured between July 2017 and March 2018.
