German carmaker Mercedes-Benz has started recalling 6,406 imported automobiles¹ in China due to a front passenger seat lock problem, according to China's market regulator.

 

德国汽车生产商梅赛德斯-奔驰已在中国召回6406辆进口车辆，这些车辆的前排座椅安全带锁扣存在问题。

 

The recall, filed by Mercedes-Benz (China) Automotive Sales Co., involves its imported C-class cars manufactured between 2015 and 2017 and E-class vehicles manufactured between 2016 and 2017, according to the State Administration for Market Regulation.

 

The backrest of the front passenger seat in an affected² vehicle may not lock into place properly, and thus be unable to provide sufficient support for the passenger in the case of a collision, increasing the risk of injuries.

 

The company will check the locking status of affected vehicles and replace the defective³ parts if necessary.

 

In a separate statement, the company also recalled 42 E-class and S-class vehicles manufactured in 2018 due to a seat belt defect.
