Model year 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC300s and GLC300 4MATICs recalled

Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) is recalling three model year 2019 GLC300s and GLC300 4MATICs.

The electrical connection between the power steering electric motor and the control unit may fail, resulting in the loss of electric power steering assist.

A loss of power steering assist would require a greater steering effort to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the electric power steering control unit free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin January 14, 2020.

Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at (800) 367-6372.
