Mercedes recalls 1,400 S-Class 2021 sedans due to steering concerns #2021SClass

Mercedes Benz has issued a recall for its recently launched flagship model, the S-Class, pretty close from entering production. According to Business Insider, the sedan comes with shorter inner tie rods, which could lead to serious steering problems.

These rods are not reliable for proper driving, thus making the car comparatively more accident-prone, which is not something one wishes to have in a luxury car.

All the owners of the 2021 S-Class have been contacted by Mercedes Benz and have been suggested to consult an authorised dealer, where service technicians can take a look into the inner tie rods, inspect them and replace the same, if necessary that is.

These services will be provided without any payment or additional costs.

According to Business Insider, a company spokesperson stated that around 1,400 cars, which have already been delivered to customers, are being recalled for inspection, through a letter informing the owners containing the word “immediately”, which is an indication of the severity of this issue, at least to some extent.
