Summary

Midwest Automotive Designs, LLC "Midwest" is recalling certain model year 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles manufactured July 1, 2016, to September 30, 2016, equipped with certain left side seat adjusters, model number 486077 manufactured by Atwood. The affected seat adjusters may allow the seats to move in the event of a crash. As such, these adjusters fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages", and 207 "Seating Systems."

Consequence

If the seat moves in the event of a crash, the seat occupant would be at an increased risk of injury.
