What this recall means for you

Some 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 vehicles may have had the level sensor linkage on the rear axle installed improperly. This can affect the headlight leveling function, so the headlights may be aimed incorrectly.

Improperly leveled headlights can project glare into the eyes of other drivers, which can impair their vision and increase the risk of a crash. Owner notification letters were mailed June 10, 2022.

An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will inspect and repair the level sensor linkage as necessary, free of charge. To check whether your vehicle is affected, enter your VIN for open recalls, or contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
