What is being recalled
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2019-2022 GLC 300, 2020 GLC 350e, and 2020-2022 AMG GLC 43 vehicles. The headlights may be incorrectly adjusted too high and create a glare for oncoming traffic. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Why it is dangerous
Incorrectly aimed headlights can reduce the visibility of oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Dealers will inspect the headlight adjustment and correct it if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 23, 2024. 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 24V-070 when calling a dealer.
