Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the electric power steering assist system may shutdown due to a software error.
Why it matters: If the vehicle experiences a loss of power steering assist, extra steering effort will be required at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the electric power steering control unit, free of charge. The recall began January 2017.
