Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: Steering

Affects Mercedes-Benz Sprinter · 2019 — about 367 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the screws that attach the intermediate bearing for the steering shaft may not be properly tightened. Over time, the screws may loosen and cause a rattling noise or a change in steering feel. If a driver continues to operate the vehicle, the screws could detach completely and cause a loss of steering control. Safety Risk: A loss of steering could create the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the screws on the steering spindle intermediate bearing.
