FILE:
SERVICE: GROUP 00 OF SERVICE INFORMATION BINDER
PARTS: GROUP I OF INFORMATION _ PARTS & ACCESSORIES BINDER
Campaign No.: 2006040003, April 2006
TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS
SUBJECT:
MODEL 251, MODEL YEAR 2006
INSPECT SECOND ROW SEAT BELT BUCKLES; REPLACE SEAT(S) IF NECESSARY
This Recall Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that due to a production deficiency occurring at a supplier, the threads in the nut
used to secure the seat belt buckle in a limited number of second row seats of the affected vehicles (see VIN range below) may be missing. The absence
of the screw threads results in an incomplete connection of the buckle to the seat.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart located below.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
^
Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
^
Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin.
Shown is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Approximately 2,292 vehicles are affected.
Effective Serial Number Range
Note:
Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. VMI must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the
campaign is required on a specific vehicle. VMI always overrides the bulletin in reference to a specific vehicle's inclusion in a particular campaign.
Please also note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
