SEAT BELTS: REAR/OTHER:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2022-2023 EQS450 and 2022 EQS580 vehicles. The bolts that secure the rear seat belt buckles to the body of the vehicle may not be secured properly.
- What it can cause
- Unsecured seat belts may not properly restrain occupants in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and secure the rear seat belt buckle bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 28, 2023. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6373. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2023070009.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-BenzEQS450 | 2022 to 2023 | 2023 |
| Mercedes-BenzEQS580 | 2022 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 6 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 19 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V513000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 67 complaints with NHTSA, 15 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the seat belts, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in February 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V366000 (back over prevention), 25V255000 (electrical system), 24V960000 (air bags), 24V115000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
