What's the Problem?
This recall affects 2019 Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter vans (platform 970 (VS30) equipped with swivel seats, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The wiring harnesses for the front seats on affected vans may have been routed incorrectly and could become jammed and damaged in the swivel seat frames, NHTSA said. If the wiring harness is damaged, the side airbag within the seat may deploy inadvertently or not deploy as designed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Daimler Vans USA is notifying owners and dealers will inspect the wire harness routing for both front seats and repair the wiring and add clips or cable ties as needed, free of charge.
This recall began in July 2020.
