Components of the brake pressure unit could corrode over time, which may affect braking assistance, speed indication, the anti-lock braking system and the electronic stability control functions. The vehicle stopping distance is increased. ABS (anti-lock brake system) and ESC (electronic stability control) system failure may reduce the maneuverability of the vehicle when braking, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of Motor Vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

The wiring harness for the starter generator may wear through and lead to an electrical short circuit. This could cause the power steering to fail or result in a cable fire, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz AG has found that, in certain EQC (BR 293) vehicles, the wiring harness for the electric steering may have been damaged during the assembly process. This could lead to an ingress of water into the wiring harness and thus, over time, into the steering control unit. As a result, the power steering could fail spontaneously, even during driving, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
