This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year (“MY”) 2020-2021 CLA-Class and GLA-Class vehicles. Our records indicate that your vehicle is included in the affected population of vehicles. What is the CONCERN? What will your DEALER DO? What should YOU DO? To find the most convenient authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer from your smartphone, scan the QR code to the left Information for Owners In certain MY 2020-2021 CLA-Class and GLA-Class vehicles, the rear brake caliper housing bolts might not be properly tightened. The rear brake caliper housing bolts may be loose, which can reduce brake performance or cause rear brake components to detach from the vehicle. Reduced brake performance can increase the risk of a crash. In addition, detached brake components can create a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash for other drivers. Before the issue occurs, the driver may be made aware of the issue by noises from the potentially affected rear axle. When the issue occurs, the driver might also notice a brake warning message (i.e. “BRAKE”) in the instrument cluster. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will inspect and tighten the bolts on the potentially affected rear brake caliper housings on the affected vehicles. This service will be provided free of charge. We are dedicated to always delivering the best customer experience, and respect for your time is a top priority. While the minimum repair time can be less than 1 hour, your dealer can provide you with a better estimate of the overall time for this service visit. As a matter of normal service process, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will also check for other repair measures which might be applicable to your vehicle and this may increase the required working time. For additional information and to schedule an appointment, please contact your preferred authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer at your earliest convenience.
