Description
Model series: Mercedes-AMG C-class (BR 205), GLC (BR 253), AMG GT (BR 290).
Production dates
The affected vehicles were manufactured between 24 April 2018 and 6 November 2019.
Risk
The ESP control unit software does not comply with the specifications and may not be able to adapt to the type of brakes installed. This can cause the ESP system to be unable to respond as intended to a possible drift of the yaw rate sensor or to a failure of the brake vacuum supply. As a result, the ESP intervention may be inappropriate to the driving situation, increasing the risk of an accident.
