Mercedes-Benz lately introduced a recall of almost 10,00,000 older automobiles internationally because of a possible braking system malfunction. According to Germany’s Federal Transport Authority (KBA), the automaker is recalling all of the affected automobiles of the SUV collection ML and GL and R-Class luxurious minivan manufactured between 2004-2015 timeframe.
993,407 automobiles have been recalled which incorporates about 70,000 items from Germany itself. Indicating the corrosion on the brake booster which might thereby end in faulting the service break is the rationale for the recall, stated KBA.
The German automakers confirmed the recall stating the transfer was primarily based on an “analysis of isolated reports for certain vehicles”. “In rare cases of very severe corrosion, it might be possible for a particularly strong or hard braking manoeuvre to cause mechanical damage to the brake booster, whereby the connection between the brake pedal and brake system would fail.” “In such a very rare case, it would not be possible to decelerate the vehicle via the service brake. Thus, the risk of a crash or injury would be increased”, Mercedes stated.
The Stuttgart-based firm will provoke the recall with rapid impact, until then Mercedes has requested its prospects to not drive their automobiles. The firm might be contacting the homeowners of doubtless affected automobiles and conduct inspections, changing the elements the place wanted or could be making choices because the demand suggests.
