Safety Recall: Connections of hydraulic power steering return lines
Dear Mercedes-BenzeBay logo Owner,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. This is to inform you that your vehicle may
contain a defect that could affect the safety of a person.
Mercedes-BenzeBay logo AG, legal successor of Daimler AG, the manufacturer of Mercedes-BenzeBay logo vehicles has decided that a defect, which relates to
motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year 2015-2019 Mercedes-BenzeBay logo SprintereBay logo, vehicles. Mercedes-BenzeBay logo Canada Inc. has therefore
initiated a voluntary recall of these vehicles. Our records indicate that your vehicle is included in the affected population.
What is the
concern?

Mercedes-BenzeBay logo AG has determined that on certain Mercedes-BenzeBay logo SprintereBay logo vehicles, the hydraulic power
steering return line hoses may detach at their connection points under certain operating conditions and may
cause hydraulic fluid to leak resulting in the loss of power steering. If the hydraulic power steering hose
detaches, the driver will still have manual steering functionality, but increased steering effort is needed,
particularly at low speeds. Sudden loss of power steering as well as the loss of hydraulic steering liquid to the
road surface may increase the risk of a crash. The customer may notice a gradual increase in required steering
effort and sound from the power steering pump as the hydraulic fluid is leaking. Owners who experience any of
the above-described warnings should park their vehicle safely and contact a Mercedes-BenzeBay logo service partner to
have their vehicle inspected.

What will your
dealer do?

As a precautionary measure, Mercedes-BenzeBay logo AG, via its Mercedes-BenzeBay logo service partners, will check the return
line connections of the power steering and install a screw type clamp at the connection point if needed. This
service will be provided free of charge.

How long does
it take?

The time required to rework your vehicle is approximately 1.5 hours. However, your dealer can provide you with
a better estimate of the overall time for this service visit.

What should
you do?

We kindly ask that you contact your authorized Mercedes-BenzeBay logo dealer at your earliest convenience to
schedule an appointment (https://www.mercedes-benz.ca/en/dealers).

Additional
Information

In the event that you are no longer the vehicle owner, or have had a change of address, please complete the
attached form and return the updated information in the enclosed envelope. If this is a leased vehicle and you

Rappel de sécurité: Raccords des canalisations de retour de la direction à assistance hydraulique
Madame, Monsieur,
Le présent avis vous est envoyé conformément aux exigences de la Loi sur la sécurité automobile. La présente a pour but de vous informer
que votre véhicule est susceptible d’avoir un défaut qui pourrait porter atteinte à la sécurité humaine.
Mercedes-BenzeBay logo AG, successeur légal de Daimler AG, fabricant des véhicules Mercedes-BenzeBay logo, a constaté une anomalie liée à la sécurité
automobile sur certains véhicules Mercedes-BenzeBay logo SprintereBay logo, de l’année-modèle 2015-2019. Par conséquent, Mercedes-BenzeBay logo Canada Inc. a
décidé de procéder à un rappel volontaire de ces véhicules. Selon nos dossiers, votre véhicule fait partie des véhicules concernés.
Quel est le problème?

Mercedes-BenzeBay logo AG a constaté que, sur certains véhicules Mercedes-BenzeBay logo SprintereBay logo, les flexibles des
canalisations de retour de la direction à assistance hydraulique risquaient non seulement de se détacher
au niveau des raccords dans certaines conditions de fonctionnement, mais également de provoquer une
fuite de liquide hydraulique et donc la perte de la direction assistée. Si le flexible de la direction à
assistance hydraulique se détache, la direction manuelle sera toujours à la disposition du conducteur,
mais l'effort de braquage sera supérieur, plus particulièrement à basse vitesse. Une perte soudaine de la
direction assistée ainsi qu'une perte de liquide hydraulique sur la chaussée peuvent augmenter les
risques d'accident. Le client risque de constater une augmentation progressive de l'effort de braquage
requis ainsi qu'un bruit en provenance de la pompe de la direction assistée en raison de la fuite de
liquide hydraulique. Les propriétaires témoins de l'un des avertissements décrits ci-dessus doivent garer
leur véhicule de manière sécuritaire et communiquer avec un partenaire d'entretien Mercedes-BenzeBay logo afin
de faire inspecter leur véhicule.

Quelles sont les
mesures correctives?

À titre de mesure préventive, Mercedes-BenzeBay logo AG, par l'entremise de ses partenaires d'entretien
Mercedes-BenzeBay logo, vérifiera les raccords des canalisations de retour de la direction assistée et y installera
un collier de serrage à vis, au besoin. Ce service sera fourni sans frais.

Combien de temps
l’intervention dure-telle?

Le temps nécessaire pour réparer votre véhicule est d’environ 1.5 heures. Votre concessionnaire sera en
mesure de vous fournir une meilleure estimation concernant le temps requis pour cette visite de service.

Que devez-vous faire?

Nous vous demandons donc de communiquer avec votre concessionnaire Mercedes-BenzeBay logo
autorisé pour fixer un rendez-vous dès que possible (https://www.mercedesbenz.ca/fr/dealers).

Renseignements
supplémentaires

Si vous n’êtes plus le propriétaire du véhicule, ou si vous avez changé d’adresse, veuillez remplir le
formulaire joint et renvoyer les renseignements mis à jour dans l’enveloppe ci-jointe. S’il s’agit d’un
véhicule de location et que vous êtes le locateur, il vous incombe d’envoyer une copie de cet avis ainsi
que de tout avis ultérieur au locataire dans un délai de dix jours ouvrables à compter de la réception du
présent avis, conformément à la Loi sur la sécurité automobile.

Si vous avez encore des questions ou des préoccupations après avoir communiqué avec votre concessionnaire MercedeseBay logo Benz autorisé,
veuillez joindre un représentant de notre Centre d’assistance à la clientèle à l’adresse cs.can@cac.mercedes-benzeBay logo.com.
Cordialement,
Service à la clientèle
Mercedes-BenzeBay logo Canada

concessionnaires ajustent leurs heures d’opération. Il est également fort probable que certaines pièces
soient indisponibles à l’instant. Notre réseau de concessionnaires travaille d’arrache-pied pour
s'adapter aux circonstances et s'engage à continuer de vous offrir du support et de l’assistance, tout
en assurant votre sécurité. Veuillez contacter votre concessionnaire Mercedes-BenzeBay logo local pour obtenir
