2021 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris has 7 recalls, the most serious involving a brake fluid reservoir that can detach and leak, and a fuel hose connection that can loosen and leak fuel near ignition sources, raising the risk of fire. On the occupant safety side, passenger seatbelt retractors may fail to lock properly when used to secure a child seat, though the vehicle's lower anchor system is unaffected and can still be used. The front passenger seat frame may also have an inadequate weld at its base, which can reduce seat stability in a crash. There is a separate airbag concern where water can collect on the airbag control unit and prevent the airbags from deploying in a crash; this issue only affects right-hand-drive vehicles. Rounding out the list, a loose infotainment electrical connection can cause the rearview camera image to disappear when shifting into reverse, leaving the driver with no rear view while backing up.
