REMINDER: More than 3000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, E-Class, CLS and GLC SUVs may have a seat belt failure

Mercedes-Benz GLC is in a new recall.

Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled 3115 examples of the midsize C-Class, large E-Class and CLS, as well as the midsize GLC SUV due to a potential problem with their seat belts.

The recall applies to MY18-MY19 vehicles sold between August 1, 2018 and March 29, 2019, with a notice that their front seat belt buckle housings "may have been manufactured incorrectly."

In this case, a correctly fastened front seat belt may be detected as not fastened, which will cause the warning light to remain on and a warning sound to be emitted while the vehicle is in motion.

And in the event of an accident, if the front seat belts do not work properly, their users may not be secured effectively, increasing the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants.

Affected owners are being instructed by Mercedes-Benz Australia to reserve their vehicle at their preferred dealership for a free inspection and repair.

For more information, please call Mercedes-Benz Australia on 1300 659 307 during business hours. Alternatively, they can contact their preferred dealer.

A full list of affected Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) can be found on the ACCC Product Safety Australia website of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
