Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: Brakes

Affects Mercedes-Benz Sprinter · 2019–2020 — about 6K vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the front brake hoses may contact the fender liners. This could cause damage to the hoses that can result in a brake fluid leak. If this happens, brake performance could be reduced. Note: A brake fluid leak can cause the low brake fluid warning to turn on. Safety Risk: Reduced brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the front brake hoses. If the hoses are damaged, they will be replaced. Additionally, the front fenders liners will be cut to prevent future damage.
