What's wrong?
The rear brake hoses on the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB35 are flexible lines that carry pressurized brake fluid to the rear brakes. When you press the brake pedal, that fluid pressure helps clamp the brake pads against the rotors so the vehicle slows evenly. The hoses need a clear path around the wheel and suspension parts so they can move without rubbing.
On the recalled SUVs, the rear axle brake hoses were routed incorrectly during production rework. That puts a hose close enough to the wheel for chafing. As the hose rubs, its outer layer can wear through and brake fluid can leak. Loss of fluid pressure can leave the brake pedal soft and reduce braking performance.
There is no warning sign before the hose starts to fail. When the leak occurs, the driver sees a red "Check Brake Fluid Level" message in the instrument cluster and the brake pedal can feel soft while driving.

What's the safety risk?
A brake fluid leak can cause a loss of brakes and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the leak affects braking; once it occurs, the instrument cluster shows a "Check Brake Fluid Level" message. If that message appears, stop driving and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mercedes-Benz technician inspects the rear axle brake hoses and reroutes them if the hose path allows chafing. The repair is available now, and parts and labor are covered under recall 24V592. Because MBUSA says the involved vehicles remain covered under the new vehicle warranty, out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through warranty coverage, not through a separate reimbursement program. If you have prior brake hose repair paperwork, ask the Mercedes-Benz service desk how the new vehicle warranty applies.
