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 20,339 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 17 times before this, most recently in August 2024 as 24V592000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 9 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 83 complaints with NHTSA, 56 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2021, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 23 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V807000 (communication), 24V704000 (engine and engine cooling), 24V115000 (electrical system), 23V880000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC with NHTSA on February 24, 2025 as campaign 25V116000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
