Transport Canada recall 2018724

20 December 2018

Transport Canada lists: C 2011–2017 · CLS 2011–2017 · E 2011–2017 · GLC 2011–2017 · and 4 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months (Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador), the bolts that attach the electric power steering assist motor to the steering gear housing may corrode and break. This could cause a loss of power steering assist. The resulting increase in steering effort could create the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the mounting bolts and apply a corrosion protection coating to the gear housing and bolts. If the bolts bolt cannot be removed, a replacement steering gear will be installed.

On certain vehicles, a bracket for a transistor in the power steering control unit may break due to vibrations and temperature variations during vehicle operation.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the steering rack and replace it, if necessary.
