What is being recalled
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2019 C300 vehicles. The center console lock-system might not lock properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 201, "Occupant Protection In Interior Impact."
Why it is dangerous
In the event of a rear-end crash, the center console lid may open, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
