Recall issued for G-Class due to brake line fault

A RECALL has been issued for the MY2011-18 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, with a total of 451 vehicles affected.

The reason for the recall is due to a brake line fault in the ABS hydraulic unit – “Strong vibrations, such as driving on corrugated roadway, could cause the brake lines in the ABS hydraulic unit to crack, resulting in brake fluid leaking and affecting the vehicle's stopping distance,” the ACCC report says.
