Mercedes-Benz steering coupling may not have been correctly locked during manufacturing.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the steering. Here is what owners need to know.
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling one 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 Coupe and one C300 4Matic Coupe. The steering coupling may not have been correctly locked during manufacturing.
If the steering connection was not properly locked, the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and steering rack may come loose, reducing steering ability and increasing the risk of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steering coupling and lock it correctly if necessary, free of charge.
