Mercedes Benz B Class: Vacuum Line Brake Booster May Break
Recall Summary Mercedes-Benz is recalling approximately 19,148 B Class, GLA, A Class, and CLA vehicles in the United Kingdom because a vacuum line connection to the brake booster may not be durable and could fail. If this happens, the brake booster loses vacuum pressure, requiring drivers to push the brake pedal harder to stop the vehicle. Mercedes-Benz will replace the affected vacuum line with a properly specified component.
