Mercedes Benz SLK Brakes may overheat creating a risk of smoke and/or fire Recall
Recall affects Mercedes Benz SLK
Reason for recall: The software for the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is faulty. The fault could lead to a low residual pressure in the hydraulic system so the brakes are applied and gain heat. This increased heat will apply the brakes further and could adversely affect the brake fluid. Fire in the wheel housing cannot be ruled out.
