Defect
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain model year 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris Vans manufactured September 9, 2016, to September 28, 2016.

Safety risk
An improperly vented air bag may not protect the front passenger as expected, increasing the risk of injury.

DVUSA will notify owners, and authorized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter dealers will replace the front passenger air bag, free of charge. The recall began February 8, 2017. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267.
