ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris?
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris is defined by its recall record, with five separate campaigns issued. A notable characteristic of these recalls is their concentration around fuel delivery components. Two of these campaigns, specifically concerning the fuel pump, extend to other Daimler Vans products, indicating a potential shared-component vulnerability across the manufacturer's line. Another recall, addressing the airbag restraint control module, targets a more limited population of right-hand-drive units. Beyond the recalls, nine owner complaints have been filed, many of which align thematically with the identified fuel system issues. No crash-test data is available for the 2022 Metris, nor for any adjacent model years, leaving its physical safety performance unrated by NHTSA. The vehicle's overall recall and complaint burden is classified as Light.
