NHTSA recall 19V290000
Steering · Daimler Vans USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The aluminum bolts that attach the power steering gear assist motor to the gear housing may corrode and fracture causing a reduction or complete loss of power steering assist.
Why it matters: Loss of power steering assist would require a higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, which may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dvusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the aluminum bolts with steels bolts, free of charge. Dtna issued owners an interim notification on June 3, 2019. The recall began November 15, 2019.
