Mercedes-benz Vans Esprinter 907: Fallback Level Brake Force Assistance

Recall Summary Mercedes-Benz is recalling 40 eSprinter 907 vans in the United Kingdom because a software issue in the brake assist system may not provide the intended level of brake force assistance. This means drivers would need to apply significantly more force to the brake pedal than intended if the system malfunctions. The fix involves updating the software in the ESP control unit.
