Germanii de la Mercedes sunt fortati de catre Comisia Europeana sa retraga de pe piata aproape 100.000 de masini modelele Mercedes Benz CLA (BR 117), GLA (BR 156), A-Class (BR 176) si B-Class (BR 242, 246) construite in urma cu cativa ani.
CE spune ca aceste aproape 100.000 de masini Mercedes au probleme grave cu coloana de directie, sistem mecanic care se poate rupe moment in care soferul pierde complet directia in mers.
Curcea coloanei de directie si bucsa sistemului poate ceda complet, iar masina nu va mai avea directie, adica masina poate sa fie implicata intr-un accident inevitabil.
“As a result, there could be play between the bearing fitted into the borehole and the universal joint, which could cause the joint to become detached over time. This would impair the vehicle’s steerability, increasing the risk of an accident.”
