December 14, 2016 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V899000
Loss of Electric Power Steering Assist
If the control unit pins lose connection, there would be a loss of electric power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash. The increase in pin contact resistance can also increase the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and ignition is off.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V899
Manufacturer Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Components STEERING
Potential Number of Units Affected 70
Summary
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 SL550, 2013-2014 SL63 AMG, 2014-2016 E350, 2014 E350 Cabriolet, E350 Coupe, 2014-2015 S550, 2015 E350 Bluetec, 2015-2016 E400, 2016 E550 Coupe, and Maybach S600 vehicles manufactured August 23, 2012, to August 14, 2015. The affected vehicles use an electric power steering system that may have improperly soldered contacts inside the control unit, potentially resulting in the power steering system deactivating while driving.
Remedy
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the electric power steering control unit, free of charge. The recall began October 13, 2017. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Check if your Mercedes-Benz has a Recall
This is to notify you of the Recall Campaign LAUNCH for certain MY13-16 E-Class, E-Class Coupe, S-Class, and SL-Class (207, 212, 222, 231 platform) vehicles. Please review the recall information below. The recall campaign is visible on the www.safercar.gov website and may generate questions from customers. All affected VIN will be flagged as “OPEN” in VMI on October 6, 2017.
Issue
Daimler AG (‘DAG’), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain E-Class Coupe (207 platform), E-Class (212 platform), S-Class (222 platform) and SL (231 platform) vehicles, electric power steering control units might have been equipped with improperly soldered contacts. If the pins lose complete contact, the vehicle’s electric power steering may deactivate, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, the complete loss of electrical connection could lead to a short circuit within the control unit, increasing the risk of a fire.
What We’re Doing
MBUSA will conduct a voluntary recall campaign to electric power steering rack on the affected vehicles. Work instructions are available in StarTek Info

Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (207 platform) vehicles. The purpose of this letter is to explain what the recall is about, what we are doing to correct it, and when parts will be available. WE SENT YOU THIS NOTICE BECAUSE WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR s·AFETY. Certain Model Year 2017 E-Class Coupe vehicles might have been built with electric power steering control units that were equipped with improperly soldered contacts. If the affected pins lose complete electrical contact, the vehicle’s electric power steering may deactivate, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, the complete loss of electrical connection could lead to a short circuit within the control unit, increasing the risk of a fire. We are working to obtain the necessary parts to correct this condition as quickly as possible. As parts become available, we will send you another letter asking you to take your vehicle to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer to have the issue corrected free of charge. Should you have any concerns or questions regarding your vehicle before you receive the next recall letter, please contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. If for any reason a dealer is unable to remedy your situation, we are always happy to hear from you. Please contact us at 1-(800) FOR-MERCEDES (1-800-367-6372). A new vehicle identification number (VIN)based recall lookup tool, on our MBUSA.com website, now offers a search function that will indicate whether a vehicle has been subject to a safety recall, and whether that vehicle has had the free remedy performed. See www.MBUSA.com/recall. If you are no longer the vehicle owner, or have a change of address, please complete the reverse side of this letter and return the complete letter in the enclosed envelope.
