The seat belt latch plates (the parts that insert into the buckles) for the outboard rear seats may retract into the interior paneling, preventing the occupants from being able to use the seat belts. If the rear seat passengers cannot fasten their seat belts, they have an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

While driving and front driver seatbelt fastened, the seat belt unfastened warning will intermittently go on and off tightening the seat belt, as if first starting the car. This has occurred for several weeks now. Per the attached recall notice, this issue has already been identified in 2018 GLC models (my VIN does not show up, however, as part of the recall), and could cause failure of the restraint system. I showed the recall notice to a Mercedes dealer, but they could not replicate the intermittent problem and did not repair it (see attached).

The seat belt latch plates (the parts that insert into the buckles) for the rear seat retracted into the interior paneling, preventing the occupant from being able to use the seat belt. (refer to similar recall # 18V177000). Although there was a recall for the same issue, my VIN was not included. I was ultimately able to fix it on my own by fishing it out from the interior panel with my fingers which was difficult to do. It is not clear how it happened, but we think it was after the rear seat was down and when it was returned to it's normal position it pushed the latch plate into the interior. We contacted our local mb dealership and were told nothing could be done since the VIN was not on the recall even though we had the same exact issue as the recall.
