What's wrong: The affected vehicles have steering gear mounting bolts which may break during vehicle operation.

Why it matters: If the steering gear mounting bolts break, vehicle handling could be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gear mounting bolts, free of charge. The recall began on May 8, 2015.
