What this recall means for you
Certain LED rear fog lights may fail to illuminate even when the rear fog light switch is turned on. Working rear fog lamps make the vehicle more visible to other drivers, so when they do not work, the chance of a crash increases.
The remedy is a free software update. Authorized dealers will update the settings of the body controller control unit at no cost to you. Owners will be notified directly by Daimler Vans USA, LLC. The recall began April 18, 2019.
To find out whether your vehicle is affected, check your VIN for open recalls, or call Daimler Vans USA customer service at 1-877-762-8267.
