AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE
An air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
8 safety recall campaigns, 8 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
A disabled eCall system would prevent a vehicle occupant from contacting the emergency services call center in an emergency, potentially delaying emergency responders and increasing the risk of injury.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
A detached brake fluid reservoir can leak brake fluid, increasing the risk of a crash.
Failure of the eCall system may result in emergency responders being dispatched to the wrong location, increasing the risk of injury following a crash.
Two 2020 MERCEDES BENZ METRISs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
