A second notice will be mailed to owners when parts become available. Owners may contact Daimler's customer service at 1-877-762-8267.
Lane Departure: Blind Spot Detection Daimler Vans USA LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris vehicles. These vans were to be equipped with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) feature, however, the installed instrument cluster and steering wheel does not support the function, and thus, the BSM system does not work on the vehicle.
Risk: If a vehicle is in the driver's blind spot, but the BSM system does not warn the driver, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Fix: DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct instrument cluster and steering wheel to enable the BSM function, free of charge.

As a result, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the air bag may not vent properly.
Risk: An improperly vented air bag may not protect the front passenger as expected, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: DVUSA will notify owners, and authorized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter dealers will replace the front passenger air bag, free of charge. The recall began February 8, 2017. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267.

UK DVSAAirbag off indicator lamp does not light up if front passenger seat is recognised as being unoccupied
Risk: Front passenger air bag off light does not illuminate in some circumstances
Fix: Recode the airbag control unit on affected vehicles
UK DVSARotating front seat wire fixings can loosen
Risk: It has been determined that on Vito models with rotating front seats (SA codes SB5/SB6) the front seats can loosen the wire fixings under the seats when being rotated. Should the wiring harness be damaged in the worst-case scenario this could lead to deactivation of the thorax bag or to unintentional triggering of the thorax bag in the case of a short circuit caused in the process. A disarmed thorax bag is indicated via the SRS indicator lamp. The reason for this is the technical concept which allows for flexible cable harness installation depending on the seat mounting.
Fix: Since the beginning of June 2017 the series has protected the wiring from jamming and damage by using an optimized mounting clip. We will recall and bring the installation of the cables under the swivel seats on the affected vehicles up to the optimized current series status.
UK DVSAElectrical wiring in steering assembly may be insufficiently grounded
Risk: The steering column clock spring may break. This will cause warning messages to illuminate in the instrument cluster but in extreme instances it may cause the driver's airbag to deploy.
Fix: Affected vehicles will be recalled to establish sufficient grounding of the steering components.
UK DVSARetaining ring of the front bearing may be incorrectly locatedYears estimated
Risk: The front wheel bearing retaing ring may not be correctly fitted; this may allow the axle to float in the hub.
Fix: On affected vehciles check location of retaing ring. Refit or replace where necessary.
UK DVSAVehicle control unit may not have been correctly updated
Risk: The vehicles electronic control unit (ECU) may have been incorrectly updated. This may affect the operation of systems controlled by the ECU
Fix: On affected vehicles update the software of the control unit
UK DVSAMissing spot weldsYears estimated
Risk: Due to an error during manufacture the rear cross member may not have been fully spot welded. This may compromise the integrity of the structure.
Fix: On affected vehicles check the designated areas and where necessary weld member

Counts are a starting point, not a verdict: popular models collect more complaints because more of them are on the road, and NHTSA does not verify individual reports. To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA; complaints are what trigger investigations and recalls.
