Mercedes-Benz has issued a recall (REC-006757) for 192 S-Class and Mercedes-Maybach S-Class sedans from the 2022–2024 model years due to potentially damaged front axle brake hoses that could leak brake fluid and reduce braking performance.

Mercedes-Benz Australia is recalling certain S-Class and Mercedes-Maybach S-Class sedans over a braking fault caused by a manufacturing defect in the front axle brake hoses.

For used-car buyers, obtain the full VIN, check it against the recall list, verify whether the brake hose work has been completed, and get dealer paperwork if it has; if not completed, arrange the repair before purchase or have the seller arrange it.

The recall covers 192 vehicles produced between 2022 and 2024, with a VIN list and original recall notice provided in linked documents.

The defect may cause brake fluid leaks and reduced braking performance, creating a risk of accidents, injuries, or fatalities for occupants and other road users.
