LONDON: Mercedes-Benz is recalling 8,000 of the brand new cars of its new executive C-class around the UK due to steering-wheel fault which could affect control of the car.
The steering-wheel problem not only affects the cars built in UK but also the one which manufactured in South Africa Factory and Germany.
Sources said that the problem mainly lies with the steering column coupling lock – a form of protective ‘sleeve’ which binds in the steering column to the steering rack at its base.
Moreover, the company is writing to customers and asking them to take their cars for a 30 minute fix to ‘click’ the steering lock sleeve back into place.
