Vehicles Affected: Approximately 5,700 model-year 2018 Mercedes-Benz S450 sedans and S560 coupes and sedans; model-year 2018 Mercedes-AMG S63 coupes, sedans and cabriolets; and model-year 2018 Mercedes-Maybach S560 sedans
The Problem: Due to an incorrect steering boot installation, the Active Steering Assist system may remain engaged despite the driver's hands not being on the steering wheel for a prolonged period of time, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles and correct the steering boot installation, as necessary, for free.
What Owners Should Do: Mercedes-Benz began mailing interim letters to owners Feb. 14; a second letter will be mailed once remedy parts become available. Owners can call the automaker at 800-367-6372, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
