1988 Mercedes Benz 190

Component

Parking Brake:Conventional:Mechanical

Consequence of Defect

the design of the parking brake grip makes it possible to distort the grip and pinch the brake release knob. if the release knob sticks in a partial engage/release position because of the pinched grip, it is possible for the lever to release unintentionally with a corresponding reduction in parking brake force.

Corrective Action

if the vehicle is not properly parked with thetransmission in the correct position, and if the vehicle is parked on a grade,reduction in parking brake force could lead to unintentional rollaway and anaccident.

Recall Notes

replace the parking brake grip with a new grip type.

Component

Electrical System:Fuses And Circuit Breakers

Consequence of Defect

in case of electrical failure which blows fuse no. 9, the rear brake lights will not operate.

Corrective Action

touching the brake pedal to disengage the cruise controlwould not function as intended.

Recall Notes

use two fuses in combination so that in case of a fuse failure, the cruise control system will not operate.
