NHTSA recall 18V-610 (18V610000)

What is being recalled

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2018 GLC300 4MATIC Coupe, GLC300, GLC300 4MATIC, GLC350e 4MATIC, GLC43 AMG 4MATIC Coupe, and GLC43 AMG 4MATIC vehicles equipped with LED headlights. The front turn signals may have an incorrect color of pink or violet. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Why it is dangerous

Turn signals that are the wrong color may not be as easily recognized by other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the color of the turn signal, replacing the LED module as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 2, 2018. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 18V-610 when calling a dealer.
