Details
What's wrong: The steering coupling may have been insufficiently tightened, resulting in the steering connection wearing.
Why it matters: The steering coupling wear may cause a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering coupling, free of charge. The remedy is currently unavailable. Interim notifications informing owners of the safety risk were mailed May 27, 2017. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available.
