Verify before you act. Recall details and remedies can change. Our database is updated regularly but may not reflect the most recent revisions. Always confirm with vehiclerecalls.gov.au or your vehicle manufacturer before acting on the information below. Read our full disclaimer.

The defect

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) software does not correspond to specifications. In rare cases this may cause the brakes to remain slightly engaged after an automatic brake intervention by a driver assistance system (e.g.. cruise control) which would lead to continuous vehicle deceleration.

The hazard

The braking system may overheat and reduce the vehicle's braking ability, resulting in an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants and other road users.

The remedy

Owners will be contacted by direct mail. Owners should contact their local Mercedes-Benz dealership to make an appointment to have the software upgraded.
