2015 Mercedes C-Class Recalled for Steering Issue
The new 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is off to a rough start.
The German automaker has announced a recall for the brand new sedan because of a steering issue that affects about 10,000 units in the U.S. According to a report from The New York Times, the steering coupling interlock may not have been put in the locked position at an assembly plant. The news comes from Donna Boland, a Mercedes spokeswoman, who said the problem was first noticed on models sold in Europe, which are assembled at a different plant than the vehicles sold in the U.S.

And people knock on Cadillac for having recalls? Please. Recalls happen to all automakers especially the mass produced luxury manufacturers like Mercedes. Even the new S Class had a recall this year. Since these cars going to be more technically advance, it is a high chance there will be problems down the line since a lot of them are volume built.
