An official Health Canada notice concerns Mercedes-benz. Issue: on certain vehicles, the wrong fabric may have been used for the passenger-front airbag cushion. As a result, the passenger-front airbag may not inflate properly in a crash. Safety risk: an airbag that does not inflate properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective actions: to reduce the safety risk, mercedes-benz recommends that you shouldn't transport a passenger in the front passenger seat until the recall repairs have been completed. Mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the passenger-front airbag. Published 2026-04-08.
