Mercedes-Benz (MBUSA) is recalling 109 model year 2021 E350, E450, E450 Wagons, & E63S AMGs, model year 2020 E63S AMG Wagons, and model year 2020-2021 E53 AMGs.

The company announced the passenger seat limiter may allow the seat to be positioned too close to the airbag, agency report said.

According to Mercedes-Benz, a seat too close to the airbag increases the risk of injury in a crash necessitating the deployment of the front passenger airbag.

In regard to what to do, MBUSA will notify affected owners, and dealers will recalibrate the passenger seat limiter free of charge.

The current recall is expected to begin May 25, 2021, while owners may contact MBUSA Customer Service on (800) 367-6372.
