MERCEDES BENZ announced a problem with the CLS (model 218) affecting a total of 1,288 vehicles.
It is possible that, due to a faulty electrical connection and high air temperature, only the first stage of the air-bag will only ignite and the second stage will not. This could result in the non-deployment or full deployment of the passenger air-bag.
