BEIJING, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Beijing Benz will recall 77,607 vehicles due to potential power steering problems, China's top quality watchdog has said.
The recall involves its C-class, E-class, and GLC SUV models domestically manufactured between Oct. 18, 2016 and April 13, 2018, according to the State Administration for Market Regulation.
The steering aids and power steering systems may malfunction due to possible errors in previous replacement of steering racks, thus increasing the risk of car crash and posing potential safety hazards, the statement said.
The recall will start from March 31. The carmaker promised to examine and repair the defective parts free of charge.
Beijing Benz will notify affected owners, while car owners can also call the company's customer service line 400-800-1188 for more information.
