Just moments ago Mercedes-Benz announced a recall on 85,000 of their vehicles because of steering issues. Mercedes is recalling the 2010 C-Class and the 2011 E-Class models, because the high pressure power steering line may have a connection fitting which is not tight enough. This can cause the power steering fluid to leak out of the line.

In the report by Mercedes, they said, “Owners may not have sufficient control of the vehicle under circumstances such as parking where maximum power steering is required.” This in turn “could lead to a vehicle crash.”

The company has not stated if there were any accidents caused by this problem, however, they did get numerous complaints from vehicle owners.

Mercedes-Benz is a German auto manufacturer, which was founded way back in 1901. It’s parent company is Daimler AG, which employs over 256,000 people and earned in excess of 78 billion Euro last year in revenue. Vehicles can be taken to any local Mercedes dealer to have the recall taken care of.
