Mercedes-Benz Metris 2023 vehicles with air bags that may not deploy in crashes. Owners must contact DVUSA for free cover installation.
An air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2023 Metris vehicles because water can accumulate on the air bag control unit, preventing proper deployment during a crash. This could increase injury risk if the air bags fail to deploy.
Water can build up on the air bag control unit, causing it to malfunction. If the air bags don't deploy as intended during a crash, occupants could be injured more severely.
Owners of 2020 and 2022-2023 Mercedes-Benz Metris right-hand-drive vehicles are affected. Drivers and passengers in these vehicles face the highest risk during crashes.
Check if your vehicle is a 2020 or 2022-2023 Mercedes-Benz Metris right-hand-drive model. The recall covers vehicles with specific VINs that will be listed on NHTSA.gov starting February 13, 2026.
