The 2006 Mercedes-Benz R350 has 2 recalls, both addressing the same brake booster issue where moisture corrodes the housing unit and can cause reduced braking power or complete brake failure.
Corrosion inside the brake booster can reduce the power assist that makes the brake pedal effective, meaning the vehicle may take significantly longer to stop or lose braking ability entirely, raising the risk of a crash.
