— Mercedes-Benz has recalled about 4,300 EQE and GLC vehicles to prevent drivers from losing steering control.
The steering coupling bolts may not be tight enough which can allow the steering couplings to loosen from the steering racks in these recalled vehicles.

Mercedes opened an investigation in July following a report of noise from the steering system. Engineers determined the noise came from a loose steering coupling bolt.
Mercedes also learned there had been a gap during production, "offering the possibility for employees to inadvertently omit vehicles in the steering coupling bolt torquing process."
Although only one warranty claim has been received, Mercedes announced the recall because a potential safety risk may exist.
About 560 of the vehicles are recalled in Canada.
Mercedes-Benz expects to mail EQE and GLC recall letters October 17, 2025, then dealerships will tighten the steering coupling bolts if needed.
