Mercedes-Benz Korea is recalling over 400 diesel vehicles in South Korea for a defective air hose that could crack, causing the vehicle’s engine to stop operation, the Transportation Ministry said Monday.

The recall affects 181 units of the C220 CDI and 244 units of the E220 CDI, both produced between Aug. 20, 2011 and Dec. 12, 2011, according to the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs.

The ministry said the vehicles’ air intake hose may crack, which could limit the engine’s output or even cause the engine to halt operation when the car is in motion, leading to a possible crash.

Free repair services are available from Monday at any service center run by Mercedes-Benz Korea. (Yonhap News)
