  15. SLC, SLK · brakes may overheat creating a risk of smoke and/or fire

    14 Jun 2017 · R/2017/157

    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.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software for the ESP.

    Where a control unit coding was updated in a workshop between 3 December 2016 and 5 December 2016 the coding may not correspond to the specification and may trigger unplanned action in the vehicle. The safety and emissions systems may not react as design intent.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software in the corresponding control units.
