1 recall across 1 model year
The Mercedes-Benz 500 has 1 recall affecting the 1990 model year, where a vacuum hose near the air filter housing can be misrouted during service, damaging the brake booster check valve and reducing braking force at the pedal. When the check valve is damaged, the brake booster loses vacuum pressure and the driver must press the pedal significantly harder to achieve normal stopping power, raising the risk of longer stopping distances or an inability to brake quickly in an emergency.
