The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the bolt that attaches the brake pedal may slip out of its mount on one side. If this happens, the brake lights may stay on. Safety Risk: Brake lights that stay on could cause other road users not to recognize when the vehicle is braking. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your travel trailer to a dealer to install an additional retaining ring on the bearing bracket of the brake pedal.
