Mercedes-Benz horizontal adjustment screw may not be effectively sealed, allowing the headlights to be improperly adjusted.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.
The horizontal adjustment screw may not be effectively sealed, allowing the headlights to be improperly adjusted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, & Associated Equipment."
If the headlights are not properly adjusted, the driver may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the horizontal headlight adjustment screws, sealing them as necessary, free of charge.
