Summary

Mercedes-Benz is recalling approximately 15,502 vehicles, including the 2019-2022 GLC 300, 2020 GLC 350e, and 2020-2022 AMG GLC 43 models. These vehicles may be missing a cover on the headlight adjustment mechanism, which can cause the headlights to be aimed too high. This defect means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for lighting and can impair the vision of oncoming drivers. Mercedes-Benz dealers will inspect the headlight adjustment and correct it if necessary at no cost to owners.

Risk

Headlights aimed too high create excessive glare for oncoming traffic, which reduces the visibility of other drivers and increases the risk of a head-on or side-swipe crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking your model and year: 2019-2022 GLC 300, 2020 GLC 350e, or 2020-2022 AMG GLC 43.
  2. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer to schedule a free inspection of your headlight adjustment.
  3. If the headlights are found to be incorrectly aimed due to the missing adjustment cover, the dealer will correct the aim free of charge.
  4. For more information, contact Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
