Details

What's wrong: A locknut in the steering rack may break under high load, possibly causing the steering to become stuck in one position.

Why it matters: A car that cannot be properly steered has an increased risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering rack, free of charge. The recall began August 23, 2019.
