2006 MERCEDES-BENZ ML CLASS Recalls Canada & USA

2006 MERCEDES-BENZ ML CLASS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML Class has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the brake booster, which can corrode and cause the brakes to require much greater pedal force to slow the vehicle or, in severe cases, fail to stop the vehicle at all. The remaining two recalls cover structural and steering concerns. A trailer hitch, whether factory-installed or dealer-fitted as an accessory, may have inadequate welds that can crack over time, allowing a towed trailer or load to detach while driving. On the steering side, a hose clamp securing the power steering fluid cooler line may not grip tightly enough, letting the hose pull free and drain the fluid. This can damage the power steering pump and leave the driver with significantly heavier steering effort, especially at lower speeds.

BRAKES

Defect

On certain vehicles, corrosion could cause the brake booster to fail. If this happens, there may be an increase in brake pedal effort and increase the distance needed to stop the vehicle. In rare cases of severe corrosion, the brake booster could separate completely and cause a loss of brakes.

Safety Risk

A loss of brakes can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Mercedes-Benz advises you to stop driving your vehicle immediately. The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact a local Mercedes-Benz dealership to arrange for towing and an inspection. The dealer will remove the rubber brake booster sleeve and determine whether the vehicle is safe to drive or if it can't be driven and a parts replacement is necessary. Also, depending on the results of the inspection, you may need to return within two years for a re-inspection.
