What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, a hose clamp that secures the power steering fluid cooling hose to the power steering fluid cooler may not provide sufficient clamping force for this connection.
The risk
A loss of power steering fluid can damage the power steering pump and may result in diminished power assist for steering which could lead to a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the power steering hose clamp free of charge. The recall began on may 17, 2005. Owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-[removed].
