1984 MERCEDES-BENZ L1316 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1984 Mercedes-Benz L1316 has two recalls, both affecting the braking system, with the more serious being a steel air delivery tube that can wear through from contact with the front shock absorber and bleed off brake pressure during a stop, potentially causing brake failure and a crash. The second recall involves the parking brake spring chambers, which are installed inverted on certain vehicles. This orientation lets water collect inside the chamber, where it can freeze in cold weather and corrode internal components, degrading parking brake performance over time.
