Mercedes-Benz is recalling more than 30,000 vehicles due to a brake line problem that could increase the driver’s risk of a crash, according to a recent advisory posted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
According to NHTSA, the Oct. 2 recall covers certain models of the luxury automaker manufactured between 2022 and 2025. The recall concerns an issue with the vehicle’s front brake hose, which officials say could leak or even rupture, increasing the distance needed to stop the car.
Affected owners should be informed by mail on November 27. NHTSA said dealers will replace front brake hoses free of charge. In total, 30,064 cars are affected by the recall.
