  • Only 2020 build models affected
  • 17 units under recall
  • Airbags may be delayed in deploying

Mercedes-Benz has issued a recall for three of its models, affecting 2020-build GLC, E-Class and EQC vehicles.

A total of 17 units have been placed under notice due to electrical connectors on the side crash sensors potentially not meeting manufacturing specifications, leading to a possible delay in the deployment of the vehicle's airbags.

If the sensors fail to trigger the airbags in time, this could lead to an increased chance of injury in the event of an accident.
