- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2021216

- Notification type: Safety Mfr

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the power steering return hoses may detach at their connection points. If this happens, power steering fluid can leak. This would result in a loss of power steering assist and power steering fluid could leak onto the road.

Note: This is an expansion of Mercedes\-Benz Recall 4695079 \(Transport Canada Recall No. 2020\-517\).

Safety Risk:

A loss of power steering assist may result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash. A power steering fluid leak could create a road hazard.

Corrective Actions:

Mercedes\-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to check the power steering return hose connections. Dealers will install a clamp at the connection point, if needed.
