Saudi Arabia recalls 6,388 Mercedes-Benz vehicles over brake failure risk

RIYADH — Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Commerce has recalled 6,388 Mercedes-Benz S-Class and S-Class Maybach vehicles over a brake hose defect that could reduce braking efficiency. The recall covers S-Class and S-Class Maybach vehicles from model years 2020 to 2025. According to the ministry, the defect involves the front axle brake hoses, which could develop brake fluid leaks over time, reducing braking efficiency and increasing stopping distances and the risk of an accident. Owners of affected vehicles are advised to check whether their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is included in the recall through Recalls.sa. The ministry urged affected owners to contact Ibrahim Al-Juffali Automotive Company at 8002443000 to arrange the necessary repairs free of charge.
