Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Vans USA, LLC is recalling certain 2016-2017 Metris vehicles sold or registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington DC, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The aluminum bolts that attach the power steering gear assist motor to the gear housing may corrode and fracture, which could reduce or completely eliminate power steering assist. Loss of power steering assist would require higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the aluminum bolts with steel bolts at no charge to owners. Daimler Vans USA issued an interim notification on June 3, 2019, and the recall began November 15, 2019. Affected owners should contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267 and reference recall number VS2SCHRALU to arrange the replacement.
