Summary

Attached is the Final Notification from Mercedes-BenzeBay logo. Mercedes-BenzeBay logo AG has determined that on certain Mercedes-BenzeBay logo SprintereBay logo 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-BenzeBay logo service partner immediately and have an appointment arranged for the vehicle to be inspected.

Dear Mercedes-BenzeBay logo Owner,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. This is to inform you that your
vehicle may contain a defect that could affect the safety of a person.

What is the
concern?

Mercedes-BenzeBay logo AG has determined that on certain Mercedes-BenzeBay logo SprintereBay logo vehicles, the retaining washer
on the bolt, connecting the brake pedal to its bearing block may loosen over time. If the retaining washer

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. Drivers who experience any of the above-described warnings should contact the nearest
Mercedes-BenzeBay logo service partner immediately.

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-BenzeBay logo AG, successeur légal de Daimler AG, fabricant des véhicules Mercedes-BenzeBay logo, a constaté une anomalie liée à la
sécurité automobile sur certains véhicules Mercedes-BenzeBay logo SprintereBay logo, de l’année-modèle 2019. Par conséquent, Mercedes-BenzeBay logo
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-BenzeBay logo AG a déterminé que, sur certains véhicules Mercedes-BenzeBay logo SprintereBay logo, 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-BenzeBay logo le plus proche.

Quelles sont les
mesures correctives?

Un concessionnaire Mercedes-BenzeBay logo SprintereBay logo 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-BenzeBay logo
autorisé pour fixer un rendez-vous dès que possible (https://www.mercedesbenz.ca/fr/dealers).

Renseignements
supplémentaires

Si vous n’êtes plus le propriétaire du véhicule, ou si vous avez changé d’adresse, veuillez remplir le
formulaire joint et renvoyer les renseignements mis à jour dans l’enveloppe ci-jointe. S’il s’agit
d’un véhicule de location et que vous êtes le locateur, il vous incombe d’envoyer une copie de cet
avis ainsi que de tout avis ultérieur au locataire dans un délai de dix jours ouvrables à compter de
la réception du présent avis, conformément à la Loi sur la sécurité automobile.

Si vous avez encore des questions ou des préoccupations après avoir communiqué avec votre concessionnaire MercedeseBay logo Benz
autorisé, veuillez joindre un représentant de notre Centre d’assistance à la clientèle à l’adresse cs.can@cac.mercedes-benzeBay logo.com.
Cordialement,
Service à la clientèle
