The defect
The driver airbag could be triggered without obvious cause. This is due to electrostatic discharge if the steering column is not sufficiently grounded and the steering column switch module is already damaged or faulty. An airbag warning message will alert the driver via the instrument cluster display as well as a red airbag indicator lamp that the steering column module is damaged or faulty.
The hazard
Triggering of the driver airbag without obvious cause could both increase the risk of injury to the driver as well as the risk of a possible accident.
The remedy
Affected consumers will be notified by mail.Consumers are asked to contact their nearest authorised Mercedes-Benz Van Retailer to arrange an inspection and rectification free of charge.
