The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the steering electric power assist system. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles have an electric power steering connector that may be insufficiently sealed, allowing water to enter the control unit.
If water enters the power steering control unit, the power steering assist may be deactivated, increasing the risk of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the connector and inspect the electric power steering rack, replacing the rack as necessary, free of charge.
