Mercedes announced a recall on several models due to a steering issue, according to an article on nytimes.com.

Reportedly about 85,000 2010 and 2011 models are being recalled because steering may become difficult due to a manufacturing defect. Models include the 2010 C-Class and the 2010-11 E-Class. Mercedes shared this information with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through a recent report.

The problem has to do with, “…a connection fitting on the high-pressure power steering line might not be tight enough, allowing power-steering fluid to leak.” According to reports from the automaker, “Owners may not have sufficient control of the vehicle under circumstances such as parking where maximum power steering is required…could lead to a vehicle crash.” Customer complaints’ brought the problem to the attention of Mercedes.

According to the Times’ article, the recall was voluntary – though once a defect is discovered within an automobile, by law the model must be recalled and fixed.
