The latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is off to one of its most successful launches in history, with car reviewers all around the world raving about its ground-breaking safety and comfort features.
What to many is known as “the best car in the world” isn't without faults though, and its W222 generation is no stranger to problems either.
According to a new release by the National Highway and Traffic Administration (NHTSA), Mercedes-Benz USA will voluntarily recall a few hundred S 550 models built between April 11, 2013 through October 14, 2013.
The problem resides in a front seat belt anchor that may not have been installed correctly in the factory, allowing it to come loose in the event of a crash.
There are 290 cars potentially affected by the problem, all of them fitted with the 4.7-liter twin-turbocharged V8 and designated for the US market. There is no information regarding S 500 models built for other countries at this time.
Mercedes-Benz will notify the owners of the voluntary recall, while the US dealers will inspect and correct the fitting of the seat belt anchor if necessary.
