Mercedes Benz Citan: Loss Of Brake Fluid

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 292 Citan vehicles because brake pipe unions may not have been properly tightened during manufacturing, which could allow brake fluid to leak out. If brake fluid leaks, the vehicle's braking efficiency could be reduced. The remedy involves checking the brake pipe unions and fluid level on affected vehicles, then tightening and adjusting as needed.
