## What is wrong

Daimler Vans USA, LLC \(DVUSA\) is recalling certain 2019\-2020 Mercedes\-Benz Metris right\-hand drive vehicles.  The screwed fittings between the rigid steel brake lines routed through the underbody of the vehicle and the brake hoses in the area of the front and rear axles may not have been correctly installed.


## What can happen

The connection between the brake line and the brake hose may leak, causing a sudden loss of brake fluids, impacting braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will check the affected fittings at the connection points of the brake lines to the brake hoses, correcting them as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began December 10, 2020.  Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1\-877\-762\-8267.  DVUSA's number for this recall is VS2BREMPOS.
