Mercedes-Benz Recall: Is there a recall on Mercedes-Benz?

The German car giant announced that it has issued an immediate global recall of the cars because of problems with the brake booster on three different series.

It has told any owners of the affected cars not to drive them until having an inspection is carried out. Some 993,407 vehicles are being recalled worldwide, including about 70,000 in Germany.

The regulator, known as KBA said in a statement on June 1 that the affected cars were built between 2004 and 2015 and belong to the ML and GL sports utility vehicle series as well as the R-class luxury minivan, according to AFP

Mercedes confirmed the recall in a statement to AFP, saying a “particularly strong or hard” braking manoeuvre could cause mechanical damage to the vehicle’s brake booster in rare cases or very severe corrosion.
