If this happens, there may be an increase in brake pedal effort and increase the distance needed to stop the vehicle. In rare cases of severe corrosion, the brake booster could separate completely and cause a loss of brakes.\n\nSafety Risk:\nA loss of brakes can increase the risk of a crash.\n\nCorrective Actions:\nMercedes-Benz advises you to stop driving your vehicle immediately. The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact a local Mercedes-Benz dealership to arrange for towing and an inspection. The dealer will remove the rubber brake booster sleeve and determine whether the vehicle is safe to drive or if it can't be driven and a parts replacement is necessary. Also, depending on the results of the inspection, you may need to return within two years for a re-inspection.","mfr_campaign":"4290005 & 4290006","units":31577,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["R CLASS"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2022237"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"08V303000","date":"2008-07-07","manufacturer":"MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC.","component":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"MERCEDES-BENZ IS RECALLING MY 2006-2008 M-CLASS, R-CLASS, MY 2005-2009 SLK-CLASS, MY 2005-2008 C-CLASS, MY 2003-2004 AND 2006-2008 CLK-CLASS, MY 2003-2008 E-CLASS, MY 2004 AND 2008 CL-CLASS, MY 2008 CLS-CLASS, MY 2004 AND 2007-2008 S-CLASS, MY 2003 G-CLASS, AND MY 2003-2004, 2006 AND 2009 SL-CLASS VEHICLES.
