Mercedes-Benz has announced a recall of approximately 7833 C-Class sedans due to a restraint system failure because of a possible parts corrosion issue.
Which Mercedes-Benz models are affected by the recall?
Mercedes C-Class W204 range sedans built between March 1, 2006 and December 31, 2008.
What causes the restraint system failure?

At this time, no known accidents 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 soon and will inspect the restraint system and component parts and replace if necessary, free of charge.
