MERCEDES BENZ C-CLASS (08/06/2017 – 02/06/2018) RECALL: It has been determined that on certain C-Class (205) and E-Class (213) Cars with AMG performance seats the laser welding between the backrest rail and the backrest metal fitting of the driver or passenger seat might not meet the specification. The laser welding between the backrest member and the backrest metal fitting may not withstand the required load values. As a result, the fitting may detach from the backrest member. In the case of an accident, this could result in a higher occupant load. Due to the delivery scenario, the fault can only occur on one side of the seat.
