Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Vito

The risk

The user's instruction manual might correspond to a different series and be incorrect or incomplete (in example, missing description of the Active Break Assist or absent warning against installation of rear-facing child seats in the front passenger seat). Consequently, the user could misuse the vehicle, which could lead the Active Break Assist to be incorrectly triggered or a rear-facing child seat to be installed in the front seat, increasing the risk of injuries.

Product: Passenger van / Light commercial vehicle under Mercedes-Benz recall code: VS2BAFV (5891163).
