Reported risk: On certain 2000-2004 ML55 AMG and 2000-2002 ML-Class vehicles, the cruise control may fail to disengage if the plunger within the brake lamp switch become immovable. The driver would, however, be able to disengage the cruise control by other means such as; pushing the cruise control stalk towards the instrument cluster, or by applying adequate amount of brake pedal force to achieve a specified deceleration rate. Failure or delay in disengaging the cruise control can increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake lamp switch.
