What is this? This is a notice about some Mercedes-Benz S-class cars. A part that controls the airbag may not be tightly bolted on.

What's happening? If the part is loose, it might not sense movement correctly. Then the airbags and seat belts might not work fully in a crash.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive an S-class car made in the affected time, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Take your car to a Mercedes-Benz dealer right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic to check the airbag control unit.
