The RV currently is sitting at MB of Modesto where it can be inspected. The issue, when we attempted to rotate the rotatable front passenger seat, and an Airbag error was displayed on the dash and the vehicle was disabled, would not start. When we rotated the seat back we assumed it took pressure off of the wiring harness and the error disappeared and the vehicle started. We tried to rotate the seat back to its secure position but wires had become tangled under the seat and we could not secure the seat. We wanted to drive the RV to MB of Modesto but were concerned the airbag might deploy and disable the RV while we were driving. We decided to have the RV towed to Mercedes of Modesto. We discovered there were three separate recalls on this issue, MB Mfg #VS3DREHSIK, NHTSA Mfg. recall # 20V-322 and CA Bureau of Auto Repair # 20250701. Mercedes states that the recalls do not cover our specific chaise but the problem is exactly as described on the NHTSA recall. MB of Modesto inspected the RV and generated a Repair Order (RO) which is attached along with the NHTSA recall. The RO seems to imply that when Tiffin added the RV house they made changes under the seat that caused the problem thus the problem was not Mercedes. We contacted Tiffin and they said the problem was not theirs. Our Good Sam Extended would not cover it because it is a wiring harness issue. Seems like this is a MB and Tiffin wiring defect and the problem should be included in the recall.
