SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): 2016120004, Date of Issue: December 2016

MERCEDES-BENZ:

Models 166, 292; Model Year 2016-2017

SUBJECT

Models 166, 292; Model Year 2016-2017

Recode Occupant Classification System (OCS) Control Module

On certain ML/GL/GLE/GLS (166 platform) and GLE Coupe (292 platform) vehicles, the calibration of the front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may not detect a very light occupant if the occupant is sitting on the edge of the seat and remains stationary for a long period of time. Consequently, there is a possibility that the occupant may be classified as a child seat and the passenger side frontal airbag may be deactivated. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will recode the Occupant Classification System (OCS) control module.
