1984 MERCEDES-BENZ 190 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190 has two recalls, the more serious being a risk that certain 14-inch alloy wheels can develop cracks in the rim, causing rapid tire pressure loss and potential loss of vehicle control. The second recall involves an electrical fault that can blow a fuse and knock out the rear brake lights, leaving drivers behind with no warning when the vehicle is slowing. The same electrical failure also affects cruise control behavior: if the fuse blows while cruise control is active, lightly touching the brake pedal will not disengage it. The driver would need to either brake hard enough to drop below 40 km/h or manually switch the cruise control off to cancel it.
