Daimler Vans USA is recalling approximately 184 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter vehicles from the 2024 model year. A software error in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) can cause the vehicle to require significantly more physical force on the brake pedal to stop. This defect can lead to extended stopping distances, which increases the likelihood of a collision.
The software malfunction affects the braking assist system, meaning the driver may need to press the brake pedal much harder than expected to slow down. If the driver does not apply this extra force immediately, the vehicle will not stop in the usual distance, potentially leading to a crash.
