The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles equipped with AMG Performance Seats, the front passenger seat occupant classification system might not function as intended, which could lead to the misclassification of the seat occupant. This could result in a child seat possibly being classified as a person, or a light/small statured person being possibly classified as a child seat, which could incorrectly activate or deactivate the passenger frontal airbag. Both cases could increase the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant in the event of a crash.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will update the occupant classification system software, and if necessary, replace the passenger seat cushion.
