SEATS
- The defect
- Daimler Coaches North America (Daimler Coaches) is recalling certain 2022-2025 Mercedes Benz Tourrider Business and Premium transits buses. The fixate stop bracket on the driver's seat backrest may not be installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207, "Seating Systems," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
- What it can cause
- Without a fixate stop bracket, the backrest may fold forward during a crash and increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Daimler Coaches will inspect the driver's seat and install a fixate stop as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 12, 2025. Owners may contact Daimler Coaches at 1-416-624-3558. Daimler Coaches number for this recall is 91.10T25237A.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1- 888-275-9171), or go to www.safercar.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 .

How this campaign compares
At 162 vehicles this is a small campaign: 64% 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 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the seats 21 times before this, most recently in October 2024 as 24V808000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V151000 (structure), 24V141000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 23V893000 (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.
Filed by Daimler Coaches North America with NHTSA on March 5, 2025 as campaign 25V144000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
