A software issue has led Mercedes-Benz to recall more than 20,000 cars across Australia.
The recall applies to Mercedes’ A-Class, CLA, EQA, GLB and EQB vehicles manufactured between 2018 and 2024.
“The electrical power steering control unit back-up software may not operate as intended,” Mercedes said in its recall notice.
