2019 MERCEDES-BENZ METRISTransport Canada Recall #2020256
The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the propeller shaft may not be properly attached to the intermediate bearing. As a result, the propeller shaft joint could wear out. This could cause vibrations that the airbag (SRS) control unit interprets as a crash and deploy the front airbags.
Safety Risk
A sudden deployment of the front airbags without a crash could create a risk of injury. This could also startle the driver, which may lead to a crash.
Remedy
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the propeller shaft and replace it, if necessary.
