What's wrong, in plain English
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain C 300 and AMG C 43 vehicles because the driver-side seat belt cover may not be properly installed on the seat belt tensioner. If the cover is not installed correctly, it can cause the seat belt anchor to come loose. A loose anchor means the seat belt may not stay fully secured in place the way it is supposed to.
