Mercedes-benz Cars Cla: Electrical Wiring In Steering Assembly May Be Insufficiently Grounded

Recall Summary Mercedes-Benz is recalling approximately 276,558 vehicles (CLA, GLC, C-Class, A-Class, B-Class, and GLA models) because electrical wiring in the steering assembly may not be properly grounded. This can cause the steering column clock spring to break, which may trigger warning messages on the dashboard or, in rare cases, cause the driver's airbag to deploy unexpectedly. The manufacturer will repair the grounding of the steering components.
