Mercedes CLA Hybrid Active Hood Fault

I'm getting an Active hood fault message on my 2023 Mercedes CLA hybrid, and the airbag light is on. Diagnostics show a stored error, and the spring actuators look triggered. Could this active hood fault be related to the crash detection system? A repair estimate is 315€.

Whoa, active hood fault? That sounds like a pain! I had something similar with my old BMW, different brand, but same deal. Airbag light going off, the whole shebang. It was the impact sensor on that too, I think. Did you hit anything, even a small bump?

Have you experienced the triggering of the spring actuators with the active hood fault message? Did the BMW have similar symptoms related to the car safety system and crash detection?

Yep, airbag light was on solid, which freaked me out. The system fault message was different on the Beemer, but the underlying issue was the same. Honestly, with anything airbag related, I wouldn't mess around. Just get it to a workshop, pronto.

Based on your recommendation and further consultation, I've scheduled an appointment with a certified Mercedes-Benz technician to address the active hood fault. The impact sensor will be inspected, and repairs done to ensure the car safety system functions as intended. I appreciate your assistance.
