Too long brake hoses can wear through on two Mercedes models

23/06/2025

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 913 vehicles of the A-Class and CLA model series manufactured between 27. 2. 2024 and 14. 3. 2024. The reason for the recall are the brake hoses that are too long and can rub against surrounding components, which can lead to brake fluid loss.

At an authorised workshop, the brake hoses on the rear axle are checked and replaced, if necessary.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “114909R“. The internal manufacturer code is “4290102“.
