In certain types of crash events, the center console may unlatch, allowing the objects within to fly around the cabin. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." |

|
Consequence:
In the event of a crash, if objects are not secured within the center console, they may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. |
||
|
Remedy:
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will modify the center console so that it remains latched in a crash, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early March 2017. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. |
