2021 Mercedes-Benz S450 recalled over airbag fault

Mercedes-Benz Australia has once again issued a recall for its S450, this time due to a software issue impacting the airbag control unit.

It’s the third such occasion in the last few months, following other recalls over faults with the car’s SOS system and fuel pump.

According to the Department for Infrastructure, which issued the notice, if the airbag is deactivated in the event of an accident, this may increase the risk of injury or death to a vehicle occupant.
