The power steering control unit wiring harness may have been damaged during the production process, possibly resulting in a loss of power steering assist or an electrical short-circuit.
A loss of power steering assist can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the wiring harness short-circuits, there is a risk of fire.
What to do
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiring harness, and replace it -- if necessary -- free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin December 22, 2020.
Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at (800) 367-6372.
