Mercedes said in a statement: ‘We have found that in some of those vehicles, the function of the brake booster could be affected by advanced corrosion in the joint area of the housing.

‘It might be possible for a particularly strong or hard braking manoeuvre to cause mechanical damage to the brake booster.

‘In such a very rare case, it would not be possible to decelerate the vehicle via the service brake.’
