The 2023 Mercedes-Benz Metris has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump that can shut down without warning and cut drive power while the vehicle is in motion, raising the risk of a crash.
Recalls 1 and 2 describe the same underlying fuel pump issue, so this represents one defect affecting the vehicle. On the safety equipment side, this recall applies only to right-hand-drive models: water can accumulate on the airbag control unit, causing the airbags to fail to deploy in a crash and leaving occupants with less protection than the system is designed to provide. There is also an infotainment concern where loose electrical connections can cause the rearview camera image to go blank when the vehicle is in reverse, leaving the driver without a view of what is directly behind the van.
