STEERING:RACK AND PINION:RACK
A car that cannot be properly steered has an increased risk of a crash.
7 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation (1 open), 1 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A car that cannot be properly steered has an increased risk of a crash.
If the passenger air bag is incorrectly displayed as 'ON' when it is not, a front seat passenger may be unaware that the air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
If the window detaches from the vehicle, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the beltline trim were to separate from the vehicle while driving, it could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the seatback does not properly lock, in the event of a crash, the seatbacks may fold forward, increasing the risk of injury.
The incorrect welding may result in the seats failing in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2018 MERCEDES BENZ AMG C63Ss can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
