Mercedes-Benz is Recalling 2015 C-Class Sedans

The plant of Mercedes-Benz in Tuscaloosa, Alabama is responsible in manufacturing the 2015 C-Class sedans in the U.S.
Mercedes-Benz recently issued a worldwide recall of its 2015 C-Class sedans. According to a report from The New York Times, the move of the company is due to the strong likelihood of steering issues with the car. In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that around 10,000 units of the variant would be affected by the recall.
Donna Boland, the spokesperson of Mercedes-Benz, revealed through a phone interview with the source that the steering coupling interlock of the 2015 C-Class sedan might not have been placed in a locked position at an assembly plant. She said the problem was noticed on some models of the range found in Europe. Presently, no issues have been reported by 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan owners in the U.S., but the company is not taking any chances so it has decided to include even the units sold there.
It should be noted that the 2015 C-Class sedans sold in the U.S. are manufactured in a different plant compared to the ones found in Europe. Mercedes-Benz runs a separate plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for the production of C-Class vehicles in North America.
When asked about how many vehicles were affected by the recall, Boland did not reveal any figures because she claimed the automaker is yet to determine it. The spokeswoman also mentioned that the company is not aware yet if there were any injuries related to the problem.
