Mercedes-Benz has just announced a recall of 495,290 vehicles in the US due to an airbag-related defect.

According to the latest announcement from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the driver's side airbag on Mercedes-Benz models may unexpectedly deploy in some cases. This will surprise the driver and may cause unintended collisions. However, this defect on Mercedes-Benz vehicles is not related to Takata airbags.

Specifically, if the airbag clockspring on the steering wheel is cracked and electrostatic discharge occurs, the airbag on the steering wheel will suddenly deploy even without a collision.

The vehicles included in this Mercedes-Benz recall include the CLA, GLA, GLK, GLC, GLC Coupe, B-Class, C-Class (sedan, coupe, and convertible), and the E-Class (sedan, wagon, coupe, and convertible). In addition, the high-performance AMG versions are also recalled, such as the CLA45, GLC43, C63, and E63.

The recalled vehicles are from 2012 onwards, so the total number is up to 495,290 vehicles./.
