What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2016 GLC 300 and GLC 300 4Matic vehicles manufactured between mid-July and early November 2015. These vehicles have a wiring harness in the steering column that may be incorrectly routed, which can cause the harness to chafe. This defect could result in unexpected air bag deployment or engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, Mercedes-Benz dealers will inspect the wiring harnesses in affected vehicles and reroute them if necessary. Any damaged harnesses will be replaced at no cost to the owner. The recall began on April 22, 2016. Affected owners should contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
