Mercedes recalls for power steering problems that could lead to accident

NATIONAL - Mercedes-Benz has recalled 85,000 of its 2010 and 2011 models because a steering problem could make the vehicles difficult to control. 

The models are the 2010 C-Class and the 2010-11 E-Class, the automaker told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a recent report. 

Mercedes said a connection fitting on the high-pressure power steering line might not be tight enough, allowing power-steering fluid to leak.  As a result, “Owners may not have sufficient control of the vehicle under circumstances such as parking where maximum power steering is required.” The company added that the problem “could lead to a vehicle crash.”
