SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
- The defect
- Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2016-2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris vehicles. The brake fluid reservoir may be incorrectly mounted, which can allow it to detach.
- What it can cause
- A detached brake fluid reservoir can leak brake fluid, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and repair the brake fluid reservoir mounting, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 2, 2022. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is VS2BE42BRE.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 28,743 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 86% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 11 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V933000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 5 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 198 complaints with NHTSA, 82 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2016, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V070000 (air bags), 25V463000 (equipment), 23V444000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V482000 (tires).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Daimler Vans USA, LLC with NHTSA on February 8, 2022 as campaign 22V066000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
