Mercedes-Benz Australia is recalling 1541 examples of its C-Class to fix a manufacturing defect that may cause the front passenger airbag to not deploy properly.

    This recall affects current-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class models produced from 2021 to 2023.

    “Due to a manufacturing defect, the front passenger airbag may not deploy as intended,” said the company in its recall notice.

    “In the event of an accident, an airbag not deploying as intended could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”

    If you own an affected vehicle, you should contact your most convenient Mercedes-Benz dealer to have the airbag replaced, free of charge.

    If you have further questions, you can contact the Mercedes-Benz Australia Customer Assistance Centre on 1300 300 896.
