Mercedes-Benz Vito / Viano

The problem

The airbag gas generator may be affected by chemical changes due to degradation over time due to heat cycling and exposure to moisture. In the event of a steering wheel airbag deployment, the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the occupants.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
