EU alert · Safety Gate Serious risk Motor vehicles
Passenger car Mercedes-Benz “C-class, E-class and S-class” — risk: injuries
Published in the Safety Gate weekly report: · Ref. A12/0268/19
Summary
The sensors in some seatbelt locks may not have been adequately manufactured. Consequently, they might not detect a correctly fastened seatbelt and thus not activate the pre-tensioner systems (electric and pyrotechnic). In the event of an accident, these might not work leading to a limited restraint capacity and increasing the risk of injury to the occupants.
A Safety Gate alert means that national authorities found a serious or relevant risk and took measures. The same product may also be sold under other names or online.
