DAIMLER AG said on Monday that it was recalling more than 100,000 Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the United States and the UK over problems with a loss of power steering fluid.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its website that the recall involved Mercedes-Benz C-Class vehicles from the 2010 model year and Mercedes-Benz E-Class vehicles from the 2010-2011 model years. The recall involves vehicles produced between June 2009 and late February 2010.
About 85,000 vehicles are being recalled in the US and more than 22,000 in the UK, Daimler said. It said it was a global recall but did not have details on additional markets that could be covered.
Daimler told the US government that the gradual loss of fluid could make it difficult to control the vehicle at low speeds, where maximum power steering is required.
But the German auto maker said that even with the loss the vehicles remained steerable. The recall is expected to begin this month.
