Mercedes-Benz Class C, Class E passenger car — injuries risk

Hazard

The latching of the electrical connector of the left acceleration crash sensor onto the cross beam may not be in line with specifications, so the electrical connector of the crash sensor might become detached as a result of vibration while the vehicle is driven or in an accident with multiple impacts. As restraint systems will not be triggered, this could reduce the restraint effect, increasing the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of Motor Vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
