Cars from the ML and GL series of SUVs and R-Class luxury minivans are being recalled.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling nearly one million cars around the world due to a potential issue that in rare cases could see the braking pedal disconnected from the braking system.
The German auto giant said over the weekend that it would start to contact affected customers whose vehicles were built between 2004 and 2015. Cars from the ML and GL series of SUVs and R-Class luxury minivans are being recalled, with a total of 993,407 vehicles impacted, including 70,000 in Germany.In 2021, the company recalled a similar number of vehicles over problems with their emergency call systems."Corrosion on the brake booster can in the worst case lead to the connection between the brake pedal and the braking system being interrupted," the German transport regulator KBA said.
Mercedes added that it"might be possible for a particularly strong or hard braking manoeuvre to cause mechanical damage to the brake booster".
