Mercedes-Benz Vehicle Recall

Publish Date: 2022, 05, 25

In a statement made in early May, German automobile company Mercedes-Benz announced that starting May 27th certain ML, GL, and R class vehicles made between 2006 and 2012 will need to be taken to a dealership for inspection after a recall has been issued. In a statement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, moisture has the potential to infiltrate the brake booster housing and cause corrosion.

Having full control of the brakes of a car is imperative to the safety of your passengers, as well as to your own life. Brakes give a car the ability to decelerate in a safe manner, so having the proper functionality is key. Here are some tips to encourage overall brake health.

  • Give yourself enough time to slow down in-between vehicles. Not slamming on the brakes often will ensure the least amount of wear and tear to your vehicle.
  • Apply even pressure when operating the brakes. When braking, apply even pressure on the pedal to engage all brake pads at the same time and in an even manner.
  • Have annual brake checks. Having brake checks often can prevent a serious defect that will go unnoticed and cause possibly cause future damage to the car or others.
  • Replace your brake pad and fluid. Replacing the brake pads and brake fluid is essential to the functionality of your braking system.

If you or a loved one has recently been injured or involved in a car crash due to moisture causing corrosion on your brakes in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages.
