Mercedes-Benz has announced a recall of approximately 69 2014 GL-Class SUVs due to a problem with the child seat anchors.
Which Mercedes-Benz models are affected by the recall?
Model year 2014 GL350 BlueTEC 4Matic, GL450 4Matic, GL550 4Matic and GL63 AMG models manufactured from November 4, 2013 to November 15, 2013.
What causes the child seat anchor problems?
The second row seat bottom may not fold down low enough for the child seat anchors to be sufficiently used. This can cause an increase in the risk of injury to a child if not restrained properly.
Are there any known accidents attributed to the defect?
At this time, no known accidents or complaints have been reported by Mercedes-Benz attributing to the defect.
What do I do if my car is one of those affected?
Mercedes-Benz will be notifying all owners affected by the recall in May 2014. Mercedes-Benz will inspect and replace the seat pan of the second row seat, if necessary, free of charge.
