A news article on the steering recall on the W205
This is the first article that I have read that actually states what the problem is.
It appears not to be an issue with North American built W205
There is also a mention about C Class sales near the end.

Mercedes Issues Recall for All-New C-Class
The car has barely launched and already the all-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been recalled. That’s not a good way to start.
Yesterday, Mercedes issued a recall for some 10,500 units of the new C-Class for a faulty steering rack that tends to squeak and, more importantly, not turn.

Saftey recall letter recived this morning (UK) booked in for tomorrow. "We have established that on some cars it is possible the steering column coupling may have been installed incorrectly. In this condition noises and restrictions in steering movement may be noticeable. In extreme cases the steering control of the car may be affected."
