What is being recalled
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2019 Metris vehicles. The head restraint of the seat or seat back may have been fitted without a spring pin or a spring pin that was improperly mounted.
Why it is dangerous
The incorrectly mounted or missing spring pins can cause the upholstery carrier to come loose from the head restraint housing, which increases the risk of an injury in the event of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DVUSA will notify owners, and Mercedes-Benz dealers will replace the head restraints, free of charge. DVUSA issued owners an interim notification on November 4, 2019. The recall began April 20, 2020. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267. D VUSA's number for this recall is VS2KOPFSTU.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 19V-666 when calling a dealer.
