What's wrong:

Why it matters: The higher illumination level may cause glare to oncoming vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mercedes benz will notify owners, and dealers will update the software calibration number (scn) of the subject electronic control unit. The recall began in September 2014.
