In coordination with the Ministry of Economy - Department of Consumer Protection, and in line with the keenness of the Ministry of Economy to conduct an ongoing review of all the products in the UAE and provide the customer with the required protection, Gargash Enterprises and Emirates Motor Company announce that a recall for A-/B-/E-Class and GLA/CLA (176/246/242/213/238/ 156/117 platform) will begin from 05/05/2017
Daimler AG has determined that on certain A-/B-/E-Class and GLA/CLA vehicles (176/246/242/213/238/156/117 platform) the propellant mix ratio in certain airbag igniters might not meet the specification. Thus, in case of a crash the igniters might not deploy in situations where the passenger frontal airbag, the kneebag or the window airbag is activated. The originally reported batch of igniters was extended by the supplier. Therefore additional vehicles and airbags are now affected.
The announcement has been aligned jointly with Gargash Enterprises and Emirates Motor Company and the Ministry of Economy - Department of Consumer Protection to inform customers about the launch of an inspection of the affected vehicles which are imported in UAE.
Any necessary rectification work will be free of charge for the customers.
