The 2010 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 has 2 recalls, both involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can explode and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Both recalls cover the same underlying defect in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator module. If the inflator ruptures, metal fragments can fly toward the passenger or other occupants rather than the airbag deploying safely.
