Recall: 2010 C & E class

[Guest mile]

Read this news published yesterday by MB in US, and just wonder if our W204 and W212 are affected.

[Guest jtang]

It's in today's papers too. Only US market so far...C&C has no news yet.

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.

I've emailed C&C on this regarding my MY2010 C-class. The reply i got was:

With regard to your enquiry, we are glad to inform you that your vehicle

is not affected by the recall.

Hi,

You may like to check with your SE again. I got a call from my SE tis afternoon telling me my W204 CGI is part of the recall.

C & C will be sending u a letter regarding it by Nov 2010. They'll be arranging all affected cars to send in for servcing/replacement of the steering wheel issue.

Do not worry, as it is a LTA RULE in Singapore for agent / distributor to inform and rectified all affected vehicles. Google LTA and you can find the recall news there..usually with chassis number etc.

[Guest lightning]

Going for my 15k servicing next Mon...not sure if I can ask them to rectify the steering issue together...

[Guest mile]

Where to check if our car's engine/chassis no. is affected?

BMW also kenna recall recently...just heard latest news that Toyota Lexus GS300 & RX300 also recall 1.53 million cars: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-21/toyota-recalls-1-53-million-vehicles-worldwide-for-brake-fluid-problem.html ... looks like is the fad nowaday... :shocked:
