What is being recalled
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2022-2025 C 300, and 2023-2024 AMG C 43 vehicles. The driver-side seat belt cover may not be properly installed on the seat belt tensioner, which can cause the seat belt anchor to come loose.
Why it is dangerous
A loose seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
