Mercedes-Benz is recalling 30,064 vehicles in the US including certain S-Class, Mercedes-Maybach, and Mercedes-AMG sedans because the front brake hoses might leak or break, a problem that could mess with your stopping power.
The recall covers certain S-Class, Mercedes-Maybach, and Mercedes-AMG sedans made from February 2021 to late November 2024.
Thankfully, no crashes or injuries have happened so far.
