The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the German automaker was issuing a voluntary "do not drive" recall because of potentially corroded brake boosters that could severely affect braking capability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Mercedes-Benz USA said there have been no crashes, injuries or deaths related to the issue.
