Summary
The misadjustment of a machine tool allowed metal particles to remain in the rear axle ABS speed sensor mounting hole. The particles can come loose, attach to the sensor assembly, and falsely indicate a wheel-lock condition to the ABS control unit.
Consequence
This false signal can cause premature ABS function at the rear brakes which could increase stopping distances.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the sensor opening for metal particles and remove as required.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Mercedes-Benz been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
