NHTSA recall 23V732000
Equipment, Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The vehicles may not be equipped with an inspection gauge to check the wear of the rear brake pads. In addition, information for using this inspection gauge might not be included in the owner's manual. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "light vehicle brake systems."
Why it matters: Driving with worn brake pads can reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install an inspection gauge and provide supplemental owner's manual information, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 29, 2024.
