The 2020 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG has 2 recalls, both centered on the front passenger seat potentially moving into a position that raises the risk of injury when the airbag deploys in a crash.
In both cases, a seat adjustment limiter is either missing or inadequate, allowing the front passenger seat to travel outside the safe range relative to the airbag. Whether the seat ends up too far forward or too close to the airbag module, an occupant in that position faces greater injury risk if the front airbag fires.
