The company told Agence France Presse that the recall is likely to be extended to other countries.
The NHTSA added that a problem with the steering system’s pump could lead to a loss of fluid leading to a loss of power assistance when parking. Daimler stressed that drivers retained control of the car even in the event of a power steering failure.
Mercedes said it will fix the problem in 2010 and 2011 models this month by re-tightening a faulty fitting.
