Mercedes-Benz C-Class (2018 – 2019)

accident brakes

The brake discs installed on the front axle may be too small (in diameter and thickness) and would not sit symmetrically in the brake calliper.

As a result, the brake lining can wear out and a gap between the piston and the sealing ring can be formed, allowing brake fluid to leak out.

This will impair the braking performance, increasing the risk of an accident.

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class models affected by this recall were manufactured between 13 September 2018 and 6 November 2019.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Mercedes-Benz dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.

If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
