Mercedes-Benz CLA, B CLASS (2016–2018)
What the hazard is
If the front passenger seat occupant is misidentified: - The front passenger airbag may not deploy as intended, despite the presence of a person in the front passenger seat. - The front passenger airbag may deploy, despite a child seat being installed. In both cases, there is an increased risk of injury or death to the person sitting in that seat in the event of an accident.
