German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz will recall around 223,000 commercial vehicles worldwide due to a problem with airbags.

This was announced by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), according to the Anadolu Agency.

The data shows that 60,246 of the 223,000 vehicles are located in Germany.

The statement said that passengers could be affected in "an accident in which the airbag is deployed" in Viano and Vito models manufactured between December 2002 and February 2006.

German media also reported that in these vehicles, "the gas generator may explode in an accident in which the airbag is deployed" and in this case the airbag can no longer provide safety, and there is a risk of injury to passengers due to parts of the gas generator breaking off. | BGNES
