The National Consumer Commission (NCC) is urging motorists who are in possession of Mercedes-Benz ML, GL, and R-class models to stop driving these vehicles and contact Mercedes-Benz for further assistance.
Mercedes-Benz South Africa says the global recall of these models was initiated due to a possible brake failure caused by advanced corrosion on the housing joining points.
There are about 13 159 affected vehicles in South Africa.
The Acting National Consumer Commissioner Thezi Mabuza says the supplier informed the Commission of this recall following a global recall by the manufacturer.
The affected models were manufactured between 2006 and 2019.
To confirm the affected VIN Numbers, consumers are advised to contact Mercedes-Benz South Africa.
