RecallScope risk estimate:HighCAA Japan

An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Mercedes-Benz G350d and others) - Repair. Side impact sensor defect. ■ Defective component details: Due to inadequate manufacturing control of the connectors for the side impact sensors installed in the doors, connector connections may loosen due to vibration while driving or similar factors. Continued use in this condition may interrupt the electrical connection, causing the warning light to illuminate. Alternatively, if a side impact occurs while the connection is loose, the impact may cause the connector to detach and interrupt the electrical connection. In the worst case, activation of the supplemental occupant restraint system (side airbags, etc.) may be delayed, potentially injuring occupants. Published 2021-10-26.
