This recall was replaced by Transport Canada Recall No. 2021-216. rnrnIssue: rnOn certain vehicles, the power steering return hoses may detach at their connection points. If this happens, power steering fluid can leak.

This could increase the risk of a crash. A power steering fluid leak could create a road hazard. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnMercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to check the power steering return hose connections. Dealers will install a clamp at the connection point, if needed.
