Chronology :
In late January 2024, MBAG identified an irregularity concerning the fallback level of the power brake assist system during routine development test drives. In response, the company launched comprehensive investigations throughout February and March 2024. These initial steps included additional testing aimed at replicating the observed behavior and identifying the precise failure mechanism.
Subsequently, during April 2024 M-AG conducted extensive analyses to ascertain the potential impact of the observed behavior. These analyses involved the identification of severity and scope of the failure scenario. In parallel with these efforts, MB AG proactively initiated corrective measures within its production processes and began identifying the potentially affected vehicle population on this basis.
On April 26, 2024, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall.
MBAG can confirm there are no warranty claims, field or service reports(such as the numbers of deaths and/or injuries) and other information related to this defect in the USA.

ntial Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain eSprinter (907 platform) vehicles, the fallback level of the power brake assist might not meet the force requirements.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
