Hazard: The driver and passenger airbags of the company Takata in vehicles with ammonium nitrate gas generators without drying agents could, under certain climate conditions, lead over time to a chemical change in the fuel. In the event of an accident triggering the release of the driver or passenger airbag, this change could cause the gas generators to burst. If a gas generator ruptures, the airbag would then have no restraining function and loose parts from the gas generator could reach the vehicle interior. This would increase the risk of injury for passengers.

What is this? Some Mercedes-Benz cars have airbags made by Takata. These airbags use a chemical that can break down over time in hot or humid weather.
What's happening? If the chemical breaks down, the airbag might not work right in a crash. It could even shoot out sharp pieces inside the car.
Does this affect me? This affects certain Mercedes-Benz models in many European countries.
What should I do? Check with a Mercedes dealer or your local garage right away. Do not ignore any warning lights about airbags.
