Mercedes Recall Will Check for Brake Problems |
||||||
|
|
May 11, 2004
The company said it is offering free inspections to customers of its E-class sedan built after March 2002, SL-class sports cars built after October 2001 and T-models built after March 2003. A spokesman said that prior inspections showed that of all the models of these classes and years, roughly two out of every thousand proved to have problems with the Sensotronic Brake Control system. If the same percentage applied, this would translate in this case to about 1,360 units affected out of the 680,000 vehicles. The carmaker said the defect in the system's braking hydraulics meant drivers need to brake earlier and with greater force to bring the car to a stop. According to the company, high-mileage vehicles where the brakes have been used more than average -- such as taxis -- have mainly been hit by the problem. Report Your Experience
