SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
A brake fluid leak can extend the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A brake fluid leak can extend the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
An 80-Amp fuse that fails can result in a sudden loss of drive power or a loss of critical safety functions such as the restraint systems or instrument cluster, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Additionally, there could be an increased risk of a fire.
A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash.
Disabled vehicle dynamics control systems, including ABS, ASR, ESP, and EBD, and a vehicle speed display failure can increase the risk of a crash.
A high-voltage battery monitoring system that does not alert the driver of a battery malfunction may increase the risk of an injury.
Two 2023 MERCEDES BENZ S 580 Es can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
