NHTSA recall 10V366000
Exterior Lighting · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a grill cover for front turn signal protection that, while permissible, may impact over time the signal's ability to meet the minimum requirements of fmvss 108.
Why it matters: The signal light's visibility to other motorists may be reduced over time, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install improved turn light units optimized for usage with grills. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin at the end of December 2010 or early January 2011.
