What this recall means for you
The electrical connection for the headlights may not be fully watertight. Moisture can get into the connection and cause one or both headlights to fail.
If a headlight fails, visibility decreases for the driver and for other drivers on the road, which raises the risk of a crash. Watch for a headlight that is dim or out, and have it checked promptly.
Authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers will inspect the headlight sealing plugs and replace them where needed, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed June 3, 2022. You can also contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372, and check your vehicle's VIN for any open recalls.
