What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, during the production process, the threads in the nut used to secure the seat belt buckle in a limited number of second row seats may be missing. The absence of the screw threads results in an incomplete connection of the buckle to the seat.
The risk
In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect to see if the nut is missing and replace the seat if necessary free of charge. The recall began on may 3, 2006. Owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-[removed].
