Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled 423 examples of its seventh-generation W223 S-Class, due to a fault which can cause a reduction in braking performance.
“The front axle brake hoses could become defective over time due to high temperature and moisture. This may lead to a brake fluid leak resulting in a reduction in braking performance,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.
