Details

What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2018 S560 and s450 vehicles. These vehicles may be equipped with front brake components (brake discs, calipers, and pads) with different dimensions than specified for the vehicle.

Why it matters: The incorrect size brake components may lead to the wrong replacement components fitted to the vehicle during brake repairs, possibly affecting braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake system, free of charge. The recall began May 8, 2020.
