The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S Class has two recalls, the more serious being seatbelt extenders on the driver and front passenger sides that may not retract properly, which can reduce restraint effectiveness in a crash.
The second recall involves the low-beam headlights on certain vehicles, where the base light aim may fall outside the required range. Headlights pointed too high or too low can reduce forward visibility or blind oncoming drivers.
