Check windshield, replace if necessary
Recall Campaign Number: 6790046
Daimler AG has determined that on certain Model 176 A-Class the bonding for the lower area of the windshield on your vehicle may not comply with the specifications. In the event of an accident, the windshield could separate from the body in the affected area.
As a result, a front passenger airbag triggered in an accident may not be supported by the windshield as intended. As a consequence, the protective effect of the front passenger airbag may be impaired, which could increase the risk of injury for the front passenger. In addition, the legal requirements may not be met.
As our top priority is the safety of our customers, Daimler AG, via its Mercedes-Benz service partners, we will therefore check the bonding of the windshield on your vehicle as a precautionary measure and rework it, if necessary. The required work will take up to 5 hours.
The campaign has been launched locally and affected customers are in the process of being contacted to inform them about the campaign. A total of 3 vehicles are affected in the South African market.
If there are any questions or queries with regards to this matter, please call the customer assistance centre on 0800 133 355 for assistance.
