Mercedes-Benz CLA Class: Seats and Restraints

Affects Mercedes-Benz CLA Class · 2026 — about 1 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On one vehicle, the front passenger seat belt buckle may become blocked after the automatic locking retractor (ALR) is used. As a result, the front passenger may not be able to use the seat belt. Safety Risk: Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: In the interim, if this problem happens, to reduce the safety risk, Mercedes-Benz advises that you can move the front passenger seat to the rearmost position to unblock the seat belt buckle until the recall repairs are completed. Mercedes-Benz will notify the owner by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to replace the front passenger seat belt.
