1 recall across 1 model year
The Mercedes-Benz L1418 has 1 recall affecting the 1974 model year, where the steering drag link can admit water through an incompletely closed slot, corrode internally, and fracture without warning, causing a sudden loss of steering control. When the drag link breaks, the driver loses the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels, making the vehicle unable to follow steering inputs and significantly raising the risk of a crash.
