Mercedes-Benz Vito, Viano and Valente join Takata recall

Mercedes-Benz has added the Vito, Viano and Valente sold between January 2, 2018 and December 31, 2014, to the ever-expanding Takata recall list. As is the case with all Takata-equipped vehicles, a combination of heat and humidity can make the airbag propellant degrade. If a vehicle with a faulty inflator is involved in a crash, metal fragments can shoot into the cabin, putting passengers at risk of serious injury or death.
