NHTSA recall 18V911000
Exterior Lighting · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The horizontal adjustment screw may not be effectively sealed, allowing the headlights to be improperly adjusted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, & associated equipment."
Why it matters: If the headlights are not properly adjusted, the driver may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the horizontal headlight adjustment screws, sealing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 15, 2019.
