- Component:
- Steering:hydraulic power assist:hose, piping, and connections
- Affected:
- 125,228
- Defect:
- Mercedes-benz is recalling 125,228 my 1998-2004 m-class vehicles. the hose clamp used to secure the power steering fluid cooling hose to the power steering fluid cooler may not provide sufficient clamping force for this connection.
- Consequence:
- The loss of power steering fluid may result in diminished power steering over time and ultimately can damage the power steering pump. this could result in a loss of control and a crash without warning.
- Correction:
- An earlier recall repair performed on these vehicles may not be sufficient to prevent a future leakage or failure of the power steering hose connection (please see 03v121). since it is not possible through inspection to identify specific vehicles that may not have been properly repaired, all vehicles repaired prior to november 15, 2003, will be repaired again. the recall is expected to begin during november 2008. owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.

- Campaign:
- 11V208000 on 03/31/2011
- Component:
- Vehicle speed control:cruise control
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1999 - 06/29/2002
- Affected:
- 136,751
- Defect:
- Mercedes-benz is recalling certain model year 1999-2002 m-class and model year 2000-2003 m-class amg vehicles. the cruise control system in the affected vehicles allows the driver to disengage the system in a number of ways, including tapping the brake pedal, using the cruise control stalk, or braking the vehicle enough to reach a certain rate of deceleration. mercedes-benz has determined that under certain circumstances use of the brake pedal may not automatically disengage cruise control as expected by the driver, although the other means of deactivating cruise control remain fully operative. specifically, where the driver pumps the brakes rather than applying consistent pedal force, the level of force required may be unusually high.
- Consequence:
- Difficulty or delay in disengaging cruise control can increase the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. the safety recall began during october 2011. owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.
- Notes:
