Summary
Attached is the Final Notification from Mercedes-Benz
. Mercedes-Benz
AG has determined that on certain Mercedes-Benz
Sprinter
vehicles the retaining washer on the bolt connecting the brake pedal to its bearing block may loosen over time. If the retaining washer loosens, over time it could detach from the bolt. In the worst-case scenario and with ongoing use of the brake pedal, the bolt may slip out of the bearing block on one side. If this occurs, the brake light switch may become permanently activated, even when the brake pedal is not pressed. If the braking lights were permanently illuminated it would not be possible for following traffic to determine the intention of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. As soon as the bolt has slipped out of the bearing block on one side, the driver may notice the brake pedal to feel as if it is moving in a circular formation when being depressed. Owners who notice any issues with the mount of brake pedal on bearing block may contact their nearest Mercedes-Benz
service partner immediately and have an appointment arranged for the vehicle to be inspected.

concern?
Mercedes-Benz

vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. As soon as the bolt has slipped out of the bearing block on one
side, the driver may notice the brake pedal to feel as if it is moving in a circular formation when being
depressed. Drivers who experience any of the above-described warnings should contact the nearest
Mercedes-Benz

Rappel de sécurité: Montage de la pédale de frein sur le corps de palier
Madame, Monsieur,
Le présent avis vous est envoyé conformément aux exigences de la Loi sur la sécurité automobile. La présente a pour but de vous
informer que votre véhicule est susceptible d’avoir un défaut qui pourrait porter atteinte à la sécurité humaine.
Mercedes-Benz
AG, successeur légal de Daimler AG, fabricant des véhicules Mercedes-Benz
, a constaté une anomalie liée à la
sécurité automobile sur certains véhicules Mercedes-Benz
Sprinter
, de l’année-modèle 2019. Par conséquent, Mercedes-Benz![]()
Canada Inc. a décidé de procéder à un rappel volontaire de ces véhicules. Selon nos dossiers, votre véhicule fait partie des
véhicules concernés.
Quel est le problème?
Mercedes-Benz
AG a déterminé que, sur certains véhicules Mercedes-Benz
Sprinter
, la rondelle de
retenue du boulon, qui relie la pédale de frein au corps de palier, risque de se desserrer
progressivement. Si la rondelle de retenue se desserre, au fil du temps, elle pourrait se détacher
du boulon. Dans le pire des cas, et si la pédale de frein est utilisée en continu, le boulon risque de
glisser d'un côté du corps de palier. Si tel est le cas, les feux de freinage peuvent s'allumer en
permanence, et ce, même si la pédale de frein n'est pas actionnée. Si les feux de freinage sont
allumés en permanence, il serait alors impossible pour les autres conducteurs de déterminer
l'intention du véhicule, ce qui augmenterait les risques d'accident. Une fois le boulon sorti d'un
coté du corps de palier, le conducteur est susceptible d'avoir l'impression que la pédale de frein
se déplace de façon circulaire lorsqu'elle est enfoncée. Les conducteurs qui constatent l'un des
avertissements décrits ci-dessus doivent communiquer immédiatement avec le partenaire de
service Mercedes-Benz
le plus proche.
Quelles sont les
mesures correctives?
Un concessionnaire Mercedes-Benz
Sprinter
autorisé installera un anneau de retenue
supplémentaire sur le support de roulement de la pédale de frein. Ce service sera fourni sans frais.
Combien de temps
l’intervention dure-telle?
Le temps nécessaire pour réparer votre véhicule est d’environ 1 heure. Votre concessionnaire sera
en mesure de vous fournir une meilleure estimation concernant le temps requis pour cette visite
de service.
Que devez-vous faire?
Nous vous demandons donc de communiquer avec votre concessionnaire Mercedes-Benz![]()
autorisé pour fixer un rendez-vous dès que possible (https://www.mercedesbenz.ca/fr/dealers).
