Mercedes is recalling its fleet of 130 SL models due to a faulty

airbag system.The affected models include:SL550, SL63AMG and SL65AMG.



Faulty system

The vehicles were built between the months of january to april 2013

with a computerised Occupant Classification System.The airbag system,

as the auto company has found out, might not be able to detect light

individuals.It works by determinig whether an occupant on a seat is a

child or not using a sensor. The experts fear that it might not detect

light individuals.

The OCS is an airbag system introduced to reduce the risk of death

among children. It identifies whether an adult or child is on the

front seat and inflates at a speed that might not harm a young person.
