all over the world. i note the recall numbers are 292 in the us and 70,000 in germany and the rest are spread out. they are not going to be particularly easy to recall and service, given that the number and different models, the mls and gls and r class and such, they are a problem. the problem seems to be related to corrosion which could lead to the connection between the brake pedal and braking system failing. just explain how serious that is. whatjumped out of me is that all three of these vehicles, the series vehicles are suv type vehicles, heavier, so the consequences of brake failure, while remote, are higher so their risk assessment was such that they needed to recall that in and it s also not one of those things that you can recall or you can fix really over the air, so many more recent vehicles, many of the problems people have are
older vehicles worldwide. the call back is due to a potential problem with the brakes of the vehicles built between 2004 and 2015. the problem is related to corrosion which, in the worst cases, could lead to the connection between the brake pedal and the braking system failing. so how significant is this recall? a question i put to dan neil, automotive critic with the wall streetjournal. it s a lot of cars and it s over a number of years and it s all over the world. i note the recall numbers are 292 in the us and 70,000 in germany and the rest are spread out. they are not going to be particularly easy to recall and service, given that the number and different models, the mls and gls and r class and such, they are a problem. the problem seems to be related to corrosion which could lead to the connection between the brake pedal and braking system failing. just explain how serious that is. whatjumped out of me is that all three of these vehicles, the series vehicles are suv type vehicles,
