Manufacturer Recall Number2016020003
NHTSA Recall Number16V081
Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available
SummaryCertain Mercedes-Benz vehicles and one FCA model are equipped with driver-side front airbags provided by the supplier TK Holdings Inc. ("Takata"). On January 25, 2016 Takata filed a Defect Information Report with NHTSA announcing a potential defect in some of the subject inflators. Based upon Takata's information to date, Takata is aware of four test ruptures in ballistic tests of non-desiccated PSDI-5 inflators. Takata is not aware of any field incidents in which a PSDI-5 inflator has ruptured, either desiccated or non-desiccated. Takata is taking this action in an abundance of caution, to address all of the subject non-desiccated PSDI-5 air bag inflators, due to the similarities of design and manufacturing characteristics for this type of inflator used in the U.S. market. DAG is not aware of any field incidents with the subject Takata PSDI-5 inflators. However, based on the information above and in an abundance of caution, DAG will conduct a voluntary recall of the vehicles equipped with subject Takata PSDI-5 inflators in the United States as identified by Takata in the Defect Information Report.
Safety RiskAccording to Takata, in the event of an inflatorrupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, which may resultin injury or death to vehicle occupants.
RemedyOnce parts are available customers will be sent a letter asking them to go to an authorized Mercedes Benz dealer who will replace the Driver side front airbag of the potentially affected vehicles. Recall Campaign 2016020003 Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz at 1-877-496-3691.
