What are the issues of the Mercedes Benz CLE Cabriolet?

Further, according to SIAM, the recall of the CLE Cabriolet is stated as, “In the process, we have found that inadvertently the warning label stating that the feature of automatic front passenger airbag shutoff is not available in the vehicle, may not have been attached to the side wall of the instrument panel on the vehicle. As a result, it might be mistakenly assumed, that a rearward-facing child seat, if affixed, to the front passenger seat would be detected automatically and thus, it might erroneously be installed.”

“Since the front passenger airbag is permanently active on the vehicles, in this scenario, it is advised not to affix any child seat on the front passenger seat as the risk of injury might increase in the event of a crash with airbag deployment,” SIAM stated. 

• .The recalled units of CLE Cabriolet are manufactured from 13 April 2024 to 24 June 2024.
