1 recall across 5 model years
The Mercedes-Benz M Class has 1 recall covering 1999-2002 models and 2000-2003 AMG models, where the cruise control system can be difficult or slow to disengage, leaving the vehicle accelerating when the driver intends to slow down and raising the risk of a crash.
The cruise control normally shuts off through several inputs, including a tap of the brake pedal, the cruise control stalk, or braking hard enough to trigger a set deceleration threshold. On affected vehicles, these inputs may not cancel the system promptly, meaning the engine can continue pushing the vehicle forward even as the driver attempts to slow down.
