ATLANTA – Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC will recall certain model-year 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 35 and 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 vehicles to correct a potential problem with a rear brake caliper.
The four vehicles within the recall population, produced between Dec. 16, 2019, and July 5, 2021, the fastener on one of the rear brake-caliper housing was not properly torqued during production.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-125, “an incorrectly torqued fastener might reduce the braking performance of the affected rear brake which could increase the risk of a crash. In addition, certain rear brake components may separate from the rear brake assembly and result in a road hazard which could increase the risk of a crash for the following traffic or other road users.”
Owners will be requested to go to a franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer where a technician will check the fastener torque on the potentially affected rear brake caliper housings on the affected vehicles, and if necessary, torque them according to specification.
