In a statement, the company said, “Based on an analysis of separate reports, Mercedes-Benz AG has determined that brake booster functions on certain ML, GL (164 platforms) and R-Class (251 platforms) vehicles May be affected by advanced corrosion in the joint area of its housing. After extended periods of time in the area and in conjunction with significant water exposure, this corrosion can lead to leakage of the brake booster. In this case, supporting brake force may decrease, leading to an increase in brake pedal forces required to accelerate the vehicle and/or potentially to an increased stopping distance.
The company also warned that in rare cases strong or harsh braking can damage the brake booster which can cause the brake system to fail. The company has requested all owners of the affected vehicles to refrain from driving their cars prior to the inspection.
