NHTSA recall 17V243000
Steering · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2016-2017 C300 vehicles. The electrical contacts for the power steering electric motor may not have been properly welded, possibly resulting in a loss of electrical contact.
Why it matters: A loss of electrical contact will cause the electric power steering assist to deactivate, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the electric power steering rack, free of charge. The recall began June 2017.
