- Notes
- Mercedes benz campaign no 5734 28.POSSIBILITY that seat belts fail to meetthe requirement of FMVSS 208.THIS condition exists because the length of thebelt when the front seat is in its most forward position prevents or impedesbelt usage by certain individuals who might find the seat belt uncomfortablytight.(correct by installing a track locking device to hold seat in forwardmost driving position).

Has your Mercedes-Benz been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
